Bougainvillia aberrans is a marine invertebrate, a species of hydroid in the suborder Anthomedusae.[1] It was first described by Dale Calder in 1993.[2] They have four radical clusters of marginal tentacles.[3] Bougainvillia aberrans is found in Bermuda in the western North Atlantic Ocean.[1]
Bougainvillia aberrans consists of the hydroid colony with soft curly perisarc polysiphonic hydrocaulus, hydranths [1] including 16 tentacles maximum, and medusa buds. Hydroid is part of the Cnidaria phylum.[4] So, B. aberrans are radial symmetry, that they have cnidae that are unique sting structures unique to this phylum.[4] Bougainvillia aberrans is different from other hydranths species because B. abberans have a lengthy spindled manubrium, negligible tentacles, and survive for a short period. In the sense that different from other with known species in all.[1] This species is characterized as comparatively large size, about 20 mm width as well as height, and large amounts of folded hanging gonads from the wall around the circumference to the proximal area of the radial canals.[5] Also, The edge tentacles have extinct species, and the oral tentacles have anti-inflammatory properties.[5]
