Diagnosis Solitary, usually benthic hydroids, having a conical to pear-shaped hydranth and tapering pedicel ending in a small attachment disc. Pedicel covered in a loose, filmy or gelatinous perisarc. Tentacles in three whorls, one oral whorl, one in middle of hydranth body, and one near base of body. Oral tentacles capitate, other tentacles also capitate but bearing additional nematocyst clusters. Vegetative budding of hydranths below proximal tentacles. Gonophores develop above proximal set of tentacles and remain fixed. Male gonophores medusoid, with radial canals and circular canal. Female ones without canal system. Cnidome: Stenoteles, desmonemes, and heteronemes. [details]
