Complementary nematocysts macrobasic euryteles arranged in warts around hydranth body, usually absent from hypostome; male and female blastostyles completely reduced; spadix of female blastostyle unbranched when immature and shed when mature, encircled by perisarc and linked to axis of blastostyle by a short peduncle (Ref. 3086).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Anthoathecata are mostly colonial A-form hydroids. Life cycle: The zygote develops into planula inside the gonophore and is later released as an actinula which metamorphoses into polyp stage.
