Entoprocta
Entoprocta (), or Kamptozoa , is a phylum of mostly sessile aquatic animals, ranging from long. Mature individuals are goblet-shaped, on relatively long stalks. They have a "crown" of solid tentacles whose cilia generate water currents that draw food particles towards the mouth, and both the mouth and anus lie inside the "crown". The superficially similar Bryozoa (Ectoprocta) have the anus outside a "crown" of hollow tentacles. Most families of entoprocts are colonial, and all but 2 of the 150 species are marine. A few solitary species can move slowly. Some species eject unfertilized ova into the water, while others keep their ova in brood chambers until they hatch, and some of these species use placenta-like organs to nourish the developing eggs. After hatching, the larvae swim for a short time and then settle on a surface. There they metamorphose, and the larval gut rotates by up to 180°, so that the mouth and anus face upwards. Both colonial and solitary species also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Loxosomella
''Loxosomella'' is a genus of entoproct. individuals are solitary, not colonial, as is typically the case in this phylum. They are sessile, attaching to a variety of substrates including sipunculan worms. They can reproduce asexually, by budding.Loxosomella decorata n. sp., a new solitary entoproct from San Juan Island, WA, USA Nielsen, C. 2017 Zootaxa 4238(4), pp. 594-596 References {{Taxonbar, from=Q5266013 Lophotrochozoa genera Entoprocta ...
