Associated fauna and sediment trapped by colonies of
Tubularia crocea (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the rocky intertidal of Mar del Plata, Argentina.
Caption: This oaten pipes hydroid (
Tubularia indivisa) is part of new exhibit of glass sea invertebrates.
Ninety-eight percent of the noncolonial organisms identified in photographs belonged to five extremely abundant taxa: Spirorbis spp., the tubeworm Protula
tubularia, the jingle shells Anomia spp., the barnacles Balanus spp., and an unidentified species of burrowing anemones (order Ceriantharia).

Tubularia sp., and most importantly, the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (Hidu et al.

Crevices and caves are populated by many subtidal species, including sponges such as Halicondria, anemones such as Sagarita and Tealia, hydroids such as
Tubularia, and many compound sea squirts such as Botryllus and other related genera.
and Polymastia sp.; large anemones (Metridium senile, Tealia sp., or Stomphia careola); various hydroids (
Tubularia sp., Obelia sp., Campanularis sp.); northern stone coral, soft coral (Alcyonaria sp.) off New England, and sea whips (Leptogorgia sp.) south of New Jersey where it becomes part of a "live bottom" community that is most common south of Virginia; barnacles; blue mussels, horse mussels Modiolus modiolus in deeper and cooler waters off southern New England; the jingle shell Anomia simplex; bryozoans, including Bugula sp.; skeleton (caprellid) and tubiculous amphipods, such as Jassa falcata; and tubiculous polychaetes, such as Sabellaria vulgaris and Hydroides dianthus.
The actinula larvae are believed to be those of
Tubularia spp.
Using
tubularia as a model system, he would replace a foot with a head or even make a two-headed organism.
