Apolemia [Apolemia]

Description

Apolemia represents a genus of siphonophores, characterized by their large, complex, and highly organized colonies that resemble a single organism. These marine creatures are notable for their long, string-like appearance, with numerous specialized zooids that contribute to feeding, defense, and movement. Apolemia species are capable of stunning prey with stinging cells and are known to form extensive 'nets' to capture small fish and plankton.
