Description
This is a very tiny marine animal known as a Hydroid. They are predators related to jellyfish. This is an anchored colony with tiny polyps, or gastrozooids that extend and catch food as it happens by. The polyps are connected by epidermis which surrounds a gastrovascular cavity. Talk about your heart and stomach being connected! The epidermis secretes a chitinous skeleton which supports the stem.
