Athorybia [Athorybia]

Description

Athorybia is a genus within the family Agalmatidae, consisting of siphonophore species. These marine organisms are similar to jellyfish but are actually colonies of specialized individuals (zooids). Athorybia species are known for their long, thread-like tentacles used for capturing prey, and their gas-filled floats that help them maintain buoyancy in the water column.
