Octocorals and Stalked Jellyfish

Octocorals and Stalked Jellyfish is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers two cnidarian lineages that fit none of the other groups of this subcategory, the octocorals, whose polyps have eight feathered tentacles and which include the sea pens, and the stalked jellyfish of the class Staurozoa, which attach to rocks and weed by a stalk instead of drifting. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes an octocoral, a sea pen or a stalked jellyfish. It excludes the true jellyfish, box jellyfish, hydrozoans, sea anemones and stony corals. The group lets a reader find these lesser known cnidarians.
