Orthopyxis caliculata
Overview
Scientific Name: Orthopyxis caliculata
Phylum: Cnidaria
Class: Hydrozoa
Order: Leptothecata
Family: Campanulariidae
Genus: Orthopyxis
Species:
caliculata
Note: Carlton (2007), Brunel et al. (1998), and ITIS.gov gives Eucopella caliculata as a junior synonym to Orthopyxis integra, and do not mention O. caliculata. WoRMS gives E. caliculata as a junior synonym to O. caliculata and has O. integra separately. Calder (2014) mention that O. integra and O. caliculata are sometimes synonymised, but argue that they should be kept separate

VARIABILITY within related information for fertilization, spawning type
RELATED:
[Orthopyxis sp.] Medusae are relased one at a time and are unable to feed; they spawn immediately then die (Kozloff 1990) *Entered as broadcast spawning
[Orthopyxis integra] Liberable eumedusoids or swimming gonophores (Faucci & Boero 2000)
[Obelia sp. as a representative example of class Hydrozoa] Medusae have separate sexes. Males release sperm; eggs are fertilized while still in the gonads. Planula lavae (Kozloff 1990) *Note: entered as lecithotrophic because planula larvae are non-feeding and planktonic
[Obelia longissima] Sessile colonial, vegetative hydroid stage, free-living sexual medusoid stage, and a planula larval stage. Medusoid stage lasts 7 - 30 days; pelagic planula larvae lasts up to 21 days. Lecithotrophic planula larva. Gonochoristic/dioecious. External fertilzation; both eggs and sperm are released into water. Asexual reproduction by budding. Larval/juvenile stage may disperse over 10 km (BIOTIC 2015)

RELATED:
[Hydroids] Suspension-feeding or carnivorous (Denny & Gaines 2007)
[Obelia sp. as a representative example of class Hydrozoa] Suitable food organisms are imobilized by nematocysts after touching one or more tentacles, then the tentacles bring the food to the mouth (Kozloff 1990)
