Corals and Sea Anemone
 | Alcyonaria "Sea-Fan; Sea Pen; Cornularia rugosa."-Whitney, 1902 |
 | Anemone The tentacles of the sea anemone are numerous and are borne on a disk surrounding the mouth at the free end. |
 | Anemone The sea anemone is an animal that can come in various sizes and colors. |
 | Sea Anemone The stomach and mouth of a Sea Anemone. c - tentacles; d - mouth; e - stomach; g,g' - openings in the partitions; k - chambers |
 | Sea Anemone Many types of sea anemones attached to the ocean floor. |
 | Barnacle A sharp barnacle, usually found in the ocean. |
 | barnacles "Barnacles on cable of a Sounding Machine"—E. Benjamin Andrews 1895 |
 | Barnacles A white or brown arthropoda. Has a pair of cirri, which form a net used to scoop food particles out of the water and into its mouth. Usually very sharp around the opening. |
 | Coral This organ-pipe coral is a well-known red coral. They are classified as cnidarians. |
 | Coral Formation of Coral Reeds, according to Darwin. |
 | Coral "Coral is the name applied to the stony structures secreted by many of the actinozoa, and applied to the animals themselves. The coral of commerce is the production of various polyps, and is of different colors and internal structure. A– a branch of Dendrophyllia."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911) |
 | Coral "Coral is the name applied to the stony structures secreted by many of the actinozoa, and applied to the animals themselves. The coral of commerce is the production of various polyps, and is of different colors and internal structure. B– part of a stock of red coral, with (a) fully extended polyp and (b, b) two polyps, partly extended. "—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911) |
 | Coral A coral. |
 | Coral A piece of coral reef. |
 | Fan Coral Coral in a fan like shape. |
 | Fan Coral A large, thin, fan—like coral. |
 | Madrepore Coral Coral in the shape of a tree. |
 | Mushroom Coral A coral in the shape of a mushroom. |
 | Maushroom Coral Coral in the shape of a mushroom. |
 | Organ-Pipe Coral Coral that resembles a pipe-organ. |
 | Red Coral Used for jewellery, grows in a bushy form on rocks at the bottom of the Mediterranean and Red seas. |
 | Red coral "It appears to be confined to the Mediterranean Sea, where it grows, especially on the southern coast, attached to rocks at considerable depths in the sea. It is fished up from the deep by means of nets and other instruments. The manufacture of ornaments of this coral at Naples is of great extent." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Tubularia coronata "The Tubularidae are a family of hydroid polypes are for the most part social animals, frequently possessing a polypidom, which, however, when present, is of much less firm consistence than the horny framework of the Sertularidae. The polypes are never entirely retractable within their tubes; the upper extremity is enlarged into a clavate head, surrounded by a variable number of tentacles." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Fossil Crinoid A fossil trapped in a crinoid. |
 | Limestone Crinoids Crinoids that live in limestone. |
 | Alcyonium elegans "In the genus Alcyonium, the polypidom is of a spongy nature, and contains a multitude of minute calcareous concretions, which serve to give firmness to the fabric. When the polypes are contracted, the surface of the polypidom, which is covered with a coriaceous skin, is seen to bear numerous scattered stellate marks, which, on examination, are found to consist of eight rays correstponding with the tentacula of the polypes which are to be protruded from these spots." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Dead Man's Fingers A hand&mdashlike coral: so called from its pale hand like tubers. |
 | Foraminifera These animalcule are so small that 1,000,000 are equal in bulk to only one cubic inch. They appear to live in the layers of water near the surface, and after death to fall gradually to the bottom of the sea. |
 | Cydonium mulleri A genus of the Alcyonidae. |
 | Astraea Pallida Coral that has branched out and looks like a brain. |
 | Polpys A colony of polyps on a bit of seaweed. |
 | Coral Polyp An individual coral is known as a polyp. They resemble sea anemone, as they have tubular bodies with tentacles. This is a cluster of New England coral polyps. |
 | Coral Polyp An individual coral is known as a polyp. They resemble sea anemone, as they have tubular bodies with tentacles. This is a cluster of red coral polyps. |
 | Astraea rotulosa "It is to this family more especially that the formation of the coral reeds is to be attributed. In this the corals usually form thick stony masses; the stony rays of the cells are exceedingly numerous, and the cels themselves penetrate deeply into the mass of coral, although they are generally partially divided by imperfect transverse paritions." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Sea Anemone Sea anemone are found strictly in marine environments. They are classified as cnidarians. |
 | Sea Colander Agarum Turneri, Sea Colander, so called from the perforations with which the frond, as it grows, becomes riddled. |
 | Sea-anemone The sea-anemones are mostly found between tide-marks in rock-pools, or on ledges of stone, adhereing to solid objects by means of the sucker-like base. |
 | Sea-anemone "Their tentacles, which are disposed in regular circles, and tinged with a variety of bright lively colors, very nearly represent the beautiful petals of some f the most elegantly fringed and radiated flowers, such as the carnation, marygold, and anemone. They are of various sizes, from that of the smallest thimble to the largest apple; and have considerable power of locomotion, being able not only to move along upon the base, but also in a reversed position upon their entacles." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Mouth of the sea-anemone "Their tentacles, which are disposed in regular circles, and tinged with a variety of bright lively colors, very nearly represent the beautiful petals of some f the most elegantly fringed and radiated flowers, such as the carnation, marygold, and anemone. They are of various sizes, from that of the smallest thimble to the largest apple; and have considerable power of locomotion, being able not only to move along upon the base, but also in a reversed position upon their entacles." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Sea-fan "In the family of the Gorgonidae the substance of the polypidom is collected into a solid central axis, covered by the fleshy mass in which the polypes are imbedded. The axis is cometimes calcareous, sometimes horny; in certain casees it is formed of a series of joints united by horny rings. Many species grow in a more or less aborescent form, of which the Sea-Fans are an example." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Sea-fan "The Sea-fan (gorgonia cavolinii)." —Encyclopedia Britannica, 1910 |
 | Sea-fan "The sea-fan (Gorgonia cavolinii)." — The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1910 |
 | Sea-pen "The main stem of the polypidom of these animals is fleshy, but is furnished with an internal bony axis, which, however, does not reach to either exlamellae, which stand out upon each side of stalk, giving the whole polypidom, in some cases, the appearance of a large quill-feather. Of this the Sea-Pen, Pennatula grisea, is a familiar example. There are, however, many other forms." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Tree-coral "These animals are generally called Tree-corals, on account of the forms of the polypidons which they build and in which they live. They are very small, and possess twelve short tentacles placed in a circle around the mouth; they occupy the cells in the polypidom, which is of a porus nature, the openings of the cells being placed at the summits of tubercular prominences of greater or lesser elevations. " — Goodrich, 1859 |
