Haliclystus Octoradiatus

	Haliclystus Octoradiatus ''Haliclystus octoradiatus'', common name spotted kaleidoscope jellyfish, is a Stauromedusae, stalked jellyfish in the family Lucernariidae. Description The bell of large specimens may be 25mm in diameter. However, specimens with a 10mm bell is far more commonly observed. The colour varies greatly. Specimens that appear quite opaque may be orange-brown, olive-brown, red, orange, or may appear locally green. Specimens that seem more translucent may appear brown and aqua, or almost white in colour. The morphology and colour of the Calyx (anatomy), calyx may differ greatly from specimen to specimen. The primary tentacles (anchors) may range in appearance from orbicular to suborbicular. The length of the calyx and stalk are approximately the same. There are 30 to 120 secondary tentacles arranged in clusters at the tip of the arms. Each conad contains 10 to 70 gonadal sacs. This species is commonly mis-recorded as ''Haliclystus auricula''. It was separated from this species in 1997. ... [...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. Unlike most scyphoz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Calyx (anatomy) Calyx is a term used in animal anatomy for some cuplike areas or structures. Etymology Latin, from ''calyx'' (from Ancient Greek ''κάλυξ, ''case of a bud, husk"). Cnidarians The spicules containing the basal portion of the upper tentacular part of the polyp of some soft corals (also called ''calice''). Entoprocta A body part of the Entoprocta from which tentacles arise and the mouth and anus are located. Echinoderms The body disk that is covered with a leathery tegumen containing calcareous plates (in crinoids and ophiuroids the main part of the body where the viscera are located). Humans Either a minor calyx in the kidney, a conglomeration of two or three minor calyces to form a major calyx, or the Calyx of Held, a particularly large synapse in the mammalian auditory central nervous system, named by H. Held in his 1893 article ''Die centrale Gehörleitung'', due to its flower-petal-like shape. Satzler, K., L. F. Sohl, et al. (2002). "Three-dimensional reconstruction ...

	Haliclystus Auricula ''Haliclystus auricula'' is a stalked jellyfish found in the Northern hemisphere. It is the type species for its genus. Name In 2010, Natural England, ''The Guardian'' and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History ran a competition asking members of the public to provide a common name for this species. The name "Kaleidoscope Jellyfish," submitted by Kepler Petzall, was eventually chosen. Runner-up names included Fractal flower jellyfish and Mermaid's trumpet jellyfish. Description ''H. auricula'' is 2-2.5 cm tall with the stalk accounting for half of the height of the organism. The remainder of the organism is shaped like a funnel, the colour of which varies across the species from grey/green to red/brown. It has eight arms which radiate out from a central mouth. Each arm is tipped by clusters of up to 100 tentacles and connected by a thin membrane. Primary tentacles known as anchors are located on the membrane margin between the arms. The kidney-shape of these ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Haliclystus ''Haliclystus'' is a genus of stalked jellyfish that contains 11 species and one nomen nudum (''Haliclystus sanjuanensis''). It is the largest genus in the order Stauromedusae. Members of this genus are found in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern oceans. Two members of this genus, ''Haliclystus kerguelensis'' and ''Haliclystus antarcticus'', are found in the Southern hemisphere only. The remaining 9 members are found in the Northern hemisphere only.http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2010/f/zt02518p059.pdf Species in this genus have four longitudinal planes of symmetry. They have eight arms which are tipped with clusters of secondary tentacles. The number of these secondary tentacles is reported to vary across the different species. Species in this genus also have eight large pads known as anchors located between the arms. These vary in size and shape and currently play in important role in differentiating one species from another. Some, but not all, species ...
