Tubularia

	Tubularia ''Tubularia'' is a genus of hydroids resembling furry pink tufts or balls at the end of long strings, owing to the common names "pink-mouthed" or "pink-hearted" hydroids. Description The average height of an individual colony is 40–60 mm and the diameter of the polyp and tentacles is 10mm. ''Tubularia indivisa'' and '' Ectopleura larynx'' may be difficult to distinguish and the two often grow together. In ''E. larynx'' the stems branch while in ''T. indivisa'' they are unbranched. Tubularia occurs either solitary or in colonies, both being dioecious; possessing large, brilliantly coloured, flowerlike hydrants. Medusae Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria.

Medusae remain attached to the hypostome in clusters, never being dispersed. These animals represent structures of the ancestral coelenterate. Life cycle During the summer time, sperm are released into the water and attracted to female reproductive structures by means of a chemical substance. Internal fertilization occurs in the female medusoids. The fertili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Tubulariidae Tubulariidae is a family of hydroid cnidarians. For long placed in a presumed superfamily or infraorder Tubulariida of suborder Capitata, they are actually close relatives of the Hydridae and are now united with these and a number of relatives in a newly recognized suborder Aplanulata. Most if not all species in this family grow on stalks and resemble small flowers. According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following genera are found in this family: '' Bouillonia'' Petersen, 1990 '' Ectopleura'' '' Hybocodon'' L.Agassiz, 1860 '' Lobataria'' Watson, 2008 '' Ralpharia'' Watson, 1980 ''Tubularia'' ''Zyzzyzus ''Zyzzyzus'' is a genus of marine Tubulariidae, tubulariid hydrozoans, which grow embedded in sponges.
