Olindias
''Olindias'' is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Olindiidae. Characteristics Members of the genus ''Olindias'' have a dome-shaped bell, four radial canals and many centripetal canals. The gonads are beside the radial canals and have characteristic papilliform processes. There are a few primary tentacles growing part way down the bell with adhesive suckers and cnidocytes in bands. There are a pair of statocysts adjoining the base of each primary tentacle. There are a much larger number of short marginal tentacles with rings of cnidocytes for immobilising prey. Between these tentacles there are a number of club-shaped processes which may develop into tentacles. Marine Species Identification Portal. Retrieved 2011-12-08.

Flower Hat Jelly
The flower hat jelly (''Olindias formosus'') is a species of hydrozoa, hydromedusa in the hydrozoan family Olindiidae. Although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. Flower hat jellies occur in the northwestern Pacific off central and southern Japan, and South Korea's Jeju Island.Patry, W.; T. Knowles; L. Christianson; M. Howard (2014).

Olindias Phosphorica
''Olindias phosphorica'', or cigar jellyfish, is a species of hydrozoan Hydrozoa (hydrozoans; ) are a taxonomic class of individually very small, predatory animals, some solitary and some colonial, most of which inhabit saline water. The colonies of the colonial species can be large, and in some cases the specialize ... from the central and eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean sea is a predominantly warm body of water, thus ''O. phosphorica'' is a warm-water Jellyfish. Global warming has facilitated the proliferation of the species throughout the Mediterranean sea. References Olindiidae Animals described in 1841 {{hydrozoa-stub ...

Olindiidae
Olindiidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Limnomedusae. They have a polyp (zoology), polyp phase and a Jellyfish, medusa phase. The polyps are generally small (1 mm) and solitary, but a few species are colonial. They have a varying number of tentacles and can reproduce by budding. In the largest species, the medusae can grow to . Centripetal canals may be present or absent and the radial canals are unbranched. The gonads are beside the radial canals, except in ''Limnocnida'', where they are on the manubrium. The fertilised eggs develop into planula larvae which become polyps. These multiply Asexual reproduction, asexually or can bud off medusae. In some species, medusae are only produced when the water temperature exceeds a certain level. Most species are marine, but several can also be found in brackish water and a few, notably ''Craspedacusta'' (such as ''Craspedacusta sowerbii, C. sowerbii'') and ''Limnocnida'', are found in fresh water.Didžiulis, Viktoras: Craspe ...

Gonad
A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes and sex hormones of an organism. Female reproductive cells are egg cells, and male reproductive cells are sperm. The male gonad, the testicle, produces sperm in the form of spermatozoa. The female gonad, the ovary, produces egg cells. Both of these gametes are haploid cells. Some hermaphroditic animals have a type of gonad called an ovotestis. Evolution It is hard to find a common origin for gonads, but gonads most likely evolved independently several times. Regulation The gonads are controlled by luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, produced and secreted by gonadotropes or gonadotrophins in the anterior pituitary gland. This secretion is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone produced in the hypothalamus. Development Gonads start developing as a common primordium (an organ in the earliest stage of development), in the form of genital ridges, which are only l ...

Tentacle
In zoology, a tentacle is a flexible, mobile, and elongated organ present in some species of animals, most of them invertebrates. In animal anatomy, tentacles usually occur in one or more pairs. Anatomically, the tentacles of animals work mainly like muscular hydrostats. Most forms of tentacles are used for grasping and feeding. Many are sensory organs, variously receptive to touch, vision, or to the smell or taste of particular foods or threats. Examples of such tentacles are the eyestalks of various kinds of snails. Some kinds of tentacles have both sensory and manipulatory functions. A tentacle is similar to a cirrus, but a cirrus is an organ that usually lacks the tentacle's strength, size, flexibility, or sensitivity. A nautilus has cirri, but a squid has tentacles. Invertebrates Molluscs Many molluscs have tentacles of one form or another. The most familiar are those of the pulmonate land snails, which usually have two sets of tentacles on the head: when extended ...

Fritz Müller (doctor)
Friedrich "Fritz" Müller (8 May 1834 – 10 March 1895) was a Swiss doctor, zoologist, and herpetologist. He was born in Basel and studied at the University of Basel from 1852 to 1854, and then at Würzburg and Prague, where he became a medical doctor in 1857. After further experience in Vienna, Paris and Berlin, he returned to Basel to practise medicine. He was a founder member of the regional medical society in 1860 and took a leading role in the sanitary services in Basel, which he directed from 1872. He gave public lectures in zoology at the university from 1868. His zoological work focussed on reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans and arachnids. From 1873, he suffered from a chronic illness as a result of which he spent periods near the Mediterranean. He died in Basel. Eponyms In 1885 Fritz Müller described ''Rhinoplocephalus bicolor'', commonly known as "Müller's snake", and in 1889 he described ''Nessia sarasinorum'', a species of skink sometimes referred to as " ...
