Plumularia setacea, the plumed hydroid or little sea bristle, is a colonial hydrozoan in the family Plumulariidae and is found worldwide. [1] It lives from the shore to 430m under water. [2]
Plumed hydroids are creamy yellow to brown and have feathery stems. The stems may grow to 2 cm in total height. The reproductive bodies are smooth and oval. [2]
This species eats microplankton. [2]
Mopalia spectabilis, commonly known as the red-flecked mopalia, is a species of chiton.
Leptothecata, or thecate hydroids, are an order of hydrozoans in the phylum Cnidaria. Their closest living relatives are the athecate hydroids, which are similar enough to have always been considered closely related, and the very apomorphic Siphonophorae, which were placed outside the "Hydroida". Given that there are no firm rules for synonymy for high-ranked taxa, alternative names like Leptomedusa, Thecaphora or Thecata, with or without the ending emended to "-ae", are also often used for Leptothecata.
Isolepis setacea is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common names bristle club-rush and bristleleaf bulrush. It is native to Eurasia and Africa, and possibly Australasia. It can be found in other places, including some areas in North America, where it is an introduced species. It grows in many types of moist and wet habitat, often in coastal regions, and sometimes inland. It is a perennial herb which forms mats of very thin, grooved, erect or arching stems up to about 20 centimeters tall. The leaves sheath the stem bases and have short, flat, thick blades. The inflorescence is a solitary spikelet just a few millimeters long, or a cluster of up to three spikelets. These are accompanied by a stiff bract extending past the flowers.
Rytidosperma setaceum, known by various common names including small-flowered wallaby-grass, mulga- or bristly wallaby-grass, is a species of grass native to Australia. Originally described by Robert Brown under the name Danthonia setacea, it was transferred into Austrodanthonia by Hans Peter Linder in 1993 and finally Rytidosperma in 2011.
Tubularia indivisa is a species of large hydroid discovered in 1758. T. Indivisa is observed to have around 40 oral tentacles surrounded by 20-30 larger tentacles. This outer ring of larger tentacles are paler and longer than the inner ring of oral tentacles. The tough and yellow unbranched stems are clustered together and fuse at the base of the colony. The color of the single polyp itself can range from a pale pink to a red and in spring (mainly), red or pink gonotheca grow between the inner set of oral tentacles. The gonotheca can be described as "part of hydroid producing gametes where eggs are often incubated until the larva is released". The polyps are observed with a conical or flask shape and present only in spring, with the diameter of the polyp and tentacles being around 15mm in length and the overall height observed of the entire organism ranging from 100-150mm.
Eudendrium ramosum, sometimes known as the tree hydroid, is a marine species of cnidaria, a hydroid (Hydrozoa) in the family Eudendriidae of the order Anthoathecata.
Hydroids are a life stage for most animals of the class Hydrozoa, small predators related to jellyfish.
The tubular hydroid is a species of hydroid cnidarian, and is found in temperate coastal waters. It is a member of the family Tubulariidae.
The grey fan hydroid is a large colonial hydroid in the family Solanderiidae.
Corhiza scotiae, the fine hydroid, is a delicate colonial hydroid in the family Halopterididae.
Gattya humilis, the snowdrop hydroid, is a delicate colonial hydroid in the family Halopterididae.
Pycnotheca mirabilis, The feathery hydroid, is a colonial hydroid in the family Kirchenpaueriidae. Feathery hydroids are often white and grow in crowded colonies resembling upright feathers. The stems may grow to 3 cm in total height. The reproductive bodies are found at the base of the stems and resemble beehives.
Plumulariidae is a family of hydrozoans.
Aglaophenia pluma, the toothed feather hydroid or podded hydroid, is a colonial hydroid in the family Aglaopheniidae and is found worldwide. It lives from the shore to 120m under water.

Halecium halecinum, commonly known as the herring-bone hydroid, is a species of hydrozoan in the family Haleciidae. It is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the western Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
