The species was described from British Columbia and California and placed in a new genus and family since it did not have the stomach and sex organs in the usual structure known as the calyx but in a sac at the base of the stalk of its worm-like body that is no smaller than 2 cm in length when fully developed. The mouth is a squarish bone with which the jaw jointed in a similar way as the incus of the middle ear in mammals; its lips frilled with tiny hairs. It has 8 adjacent capitate tentacles that are located near the calyx which is short with no arm lobes. The outer t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Stauromedusae Stauromedusae are the stalked jellyfishes. They are the sole living members of the class Staurozoa and belong to the medusozoa subphylum of Cnidaria. They are unique among medusa jellyfish in that they do not have an alternation of polyp and medusa life cycle phases, but are instead interpreted as an attached medusa stage. With a lifestyle more resembling that of polypoid forms. They have a generally trumpet-shaped body, oriented upside-down in comparison with other jellyfish, with the tentacles projecting upwards, and the stalk located in the centre of the umbrella. Members of this class are commonly found in relatively cold waters, close to the shoreline. Sexually mature stauromedusae free-spawn eggs or sperm, which fertilize in the sea and form a creeping, unciliated planula larva. The larvae crawl across the sea floor and find a suitable place, attaching themselves typically to rock or algae, where they eventually develop into a new, attached stauromedusa.

	Lipkeidae ''Lipkea'' is a genus of stalked jellyfish. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Lipkeidae. ''Lipkea'' species lack tentacles at the end of their bell. Genera and Species According to the World Register of Marine Species, there are only three described species in this family and genus: '' Lipkea ruspoliana'' Vogt, 1886 '' Lipkea stephensoni'' Carlgren, 1933 '' Lipkea sturdzi'' (Antipa, 1893) Distribution According to the World Register of Marine Species '' L. stephensoni'' is the only species known from the waters off the coast of South Africa. The other ''Lipkea'' species ('' Lipkea ruspoliana'' and '' Lipkea sturdzi'') are found in the mediterranean sea. It is likely that there are undescribed specimens of Lipkea. For instance the images in the gallery below show ''Lipkea'' with dense nematocyst A cnidocyte (also known as a cnidoblast or nematocyte) is an explosive cell containing one large secretory organelle called a cnidocyst (also known as a cnida () or nem ...

picture info	Suborder Order ( la, ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Jellyfishes 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. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are anchored to the seabed by stalks rather than being mobile. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient locomotion. The tentacles are armed with stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, which produces planula larvae that disperse widely and enter a sedentary polyp phase before reaching sexual maturity. Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans with a similar appearance live in freshwater. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coast ...
