Crystallophyes [Crystallophyes]

Description

Crystallophyes is a genus of siphonophores distinguished by their relatively small size and transparent bodies, making them almost invisible in the water column. They possess a simple colonial structure with a small float and trailing zooids responsible for various functions. Despite their inconspicuous appearance, they are effective predators of small planktonic organisms. The genus plays a role in the transfer of energy within oceanic food webs.
