picture info	Nemopsis Bachei ''Nemopsis bachei'' is a species of relatively small gelatinous zooplankton hydrozoa found in both marine and estuarine environments. This particular species was first found and described by Louis Agassiz in 1849 from samples that were taken from the coast of Massachusetts. It was also noted and described in 1857 by another name off the coast of South Carolina.Moore, D.R. “Occurrence and distribution of Nemopsis bachei Agassiz (Hydrozoa) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico”. ''Bulletin of Marine Science of the Gulf and Caribbean'' (1962) As part of the phylum Cnidaria they are mainly gelatinous with their most identifying characteristic being the gonads which, viewed from above, look like an X and then continue down the sides lining up with the radial canals. As a part of the zooplankton, it is incapable of sustained horizontal movement and relies on its tentacles to encounter and capture smaller organisms for food (feeds mainly on copepedites, selecting against naupilar stages).Pu ...

	Bougainvilliidae Bougainvilliidae is a family of marine hydroids in the class Hydrozoa. Members of the family are found worldwide. There are sixteen accepted genera and about ninety-three species. Description Hydroids in this family can be solitary or colonial. When colonial, the hydranths or hydroid polyps are either linked by stolons or are branched. The hydranths have one or more whorls of fine tentacles. The gonophores are free-living medusae or are fixed sporosacs. The medusae are bell-shaped with a circular mouth and branched oral tentacles inserted above the rim of the mouth, ending in clusters of nematocysts.

picture info	Cnidarians Cnidaria () is a phylum under kingdom Animalia containing over 11,000 species of aquatic animals found both in freshwater and marine environments, predominantly the latter. Their distinguishing feature is cnidocytes, specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey. Their bodies consist of mesoglea, a non-living jelly-like substance, sandwiched between two layers of epithelium that are mostly one cell thick. Cnidarians mostly have two basic body forms: swimming medusae and sessile polyps, both of which are radially symmetrical with mouths surrounded by tentacles that bear cnidocytes. Both forms have a single orifice and body cavity that are used for digestion and respiration. Many cnidarian species produce colonies that are single organisms composed of medusa-like or polyp-like zooids, or both (hence they are trimorphic). Cnidarians' activities are coordinated by a decentralized nerve net and simple receptors. Several free-swimming species of Cubozoa and Scyphozo ...
