Image of Crisia occidentalis Trask 1857
Description:
This closeup of a branch tip shows several zooids with extended lophophores. Cilia (visible as fuzzy edges to the lophophore tentacles) beat rapidly on the lophophores, creating a strong water current which flows into the center of the lophophore cup and out between the tentacles.
