hydroid
A hydroid is a type of aquatic invertebrate organism, belonging to the class Hydrozoa, generally found in marine environments. Hydroids are primarily colonial organisms, characterized by their polyp phase or their jellyfish-like, free-swimming medusa phase. They may also have a phase that is encrusted to rocks or other hard surfaces. They feed mainly on plankton and have many tentacles that contain cells capable of stinging for both protection and capturing prey.
