Description
Fig. 4. Candelabrum phrygium, living animals. (A) Whole, semi-expanded polyp, male, size about 3-4 cm. Inset in upper corner: zoom on blastostyles with terminal nematocyst buttons and more proximal sporosacs (Kam08). (B) Semi-expanded polyp in its environment, size 2-3 cm. (C) Basal part of polyp (Kam03) showing attachment-tentacles with sucker-discs and blastostyles with female sporosacs. Inset in lower left: higher magnification of female sporosacs; note the numerous nematocyst buttons on their surface, this specimen has a particularly high number of them, others have fewer. Abbreviations: sp = sporosac, bs = blastostyle. (D) Basal part of a young polyp (Kam11) with sausage-shaped blastostyles bearing no sporosacs yet and also very few nematocyst buttons only. The blastostyles can easily be mistaken for sporosacs. ►
