Podocoryna [Podocoryna]

Description

Podocoryna is a genus of hydroids in the family Hydractiniidae, known for their branching colonies that adhere to various substrates under the sea, such as rocks, shells, and algae. The colonies consist of a base of creeping stolons from which erect branches grow, each bearing feeding polyps and reproductive structures. Podocoryna species exhibit a variety of colors and sizes, depending on the environment. They play a role in the marine ecosystem as a food source for certain marine species and as habitat for others.
