Corymorphidae
Family of hydrozoans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corymorphidae is a family of hydroid cnidarians. For long placed in a presumed superfamily or infraorder Tubulariida of suborder Capitata, they are actually close relatives of the Hydridae and are now united with these and a number of relatives in a newly recognized suborder Aplanulata.[1] Most, if not all species in this family grow on stalks and resemble small flowers.
