Physonectae
Physonectae is a suborder of siphonophores. In Japanese it is called (). Organisms in the suborder Physonectae follow the classic Siphonophore body plan. They are almost all pelagic, and are composed of a colony of specialized zooids that originate from the same fertilized egg. While Physonectae are not generally well-known by the public, a related species also of the order Siphonophorae is the Portuguese man o' war, well-known for its painful sting. Distribution The majority of physonect siphonophores are pelagic, with the exception of Rhodallidae, which are a family of benthic physonects first collected during the ''Challenger'' expedition and described by Ernst Haekel in his ''Challenger'' monograph. Physonects, and siphonophores in general, are known to be widely distributed globally, but are understudied. Few individuals have been collected and are often misidentified. As a result, their exact global distributions are unclear. Morphology All physonect siphonophor ...
