| F. S. Dunn et al. 2022 | Thecate, medusozoan cnidarian with colonial polypoid phase. Equi-sized, bifurcating polyps are encased in goblet-shaped, organic-walled, periderm with deep-corner sulci imparting a polyhedral outline and a form of radial symmetry but without conspicuous external ornament, excepting a thin concentric band near the aperatural rim (Fig. 1). Periderm divided into two regions: the stalk and the cup. Polyp possesses a dense crown of uniform, unbranched tentacles which extend beyond the aperture of the periderm. |
