Class Anthozoa: corals & anemones have ONLY a polyp stage.

Mutualistic relationship with zooxanthellae. When zooxanthellae leave, the coral bleaches [loses colour]. britannica Todd LaJeunesse Clownfish program tentacles not to fire nematocysts. Cross section: Function of coupled septa? Most abundant in shallow, warm marine waters. Why? K. Bridle & S. Romano, Salinella.bio.uottawa © Kirsten Michalek-Wagner & Anya Salih GVC outside 3 4

Class Hydrozoa: A diverse group with solitary and colonial

forms, resulting in enhanced diversification within this group.

Portuguese man-of-war colony of polyps [zooids] in medusa form. Gonangium Hydranth S. Ye and S. Cuddihy, salinella.bio.uottawa Obelia: colony in polyp form The polyps do not detach, and the colony grows larger. Like other colonial animals, we see the separation of some body functions. What is the difference between the red and translucent areas? 4 "
