           member:  genus_Nanomia  a genus of Siphonophora
              member:  nanomia  small creatures resembling pieces of fuzzy rope; each with a cluster of swimming bells serving as the head and long elastic tentacles for drawing in prey

              member:  Portuguese_man-of-war__man-of-war__jellyfish  large siphonophore having a bladderlike float and stinging tentacles
        member:  genus_Sertularia__Sertularia  sessile hydroid that forms feathery colonies
           member:  sertularian  feathery colony of long-branched stems bearing stalkless paired polyps
     member:  class_Anthozoa__Anthozoa__Actinozoa__class_Actinozoa  no alternation of generations the medusoid phase being entirely suppressed: sea anemones; corals
        member:  anthozoan__actinozoan  sessile marine coelenterates including solitary and colonial polyps; the medusoid phase is entirely suppressed
        member:  order_Actiniaria__Actiniaria__Actinaria__order_Actinaria  sea anemones
           member:  sea_anemone__seaanemone  marine polyps that resemble flowers but have oral rings of tentacles; differ from corals in forming no hard skeleton
           member:  actinia__actinian__actiniarian  any sea anemone or related animal
           member:  genus_Actinia__Actinia  a genus of sea anemone common in rock pools
        member:  order_Alcyonaria__Alcyonaria  corals and sea anemones having eight branches
           member:  suborder_Alcyonacea__Alcyonacea  comprising the soft corals
