Rhodaliidae is a family of siphonophores. In Japanese they are called ヒノマルクラゲ (hinomarukurage).^[5]

Rhodaliids have a characteristic gas-secreting structure called aurophore.^[2] Below the enlarged pneumatophore (float), the siphosome and nectosome are contracted into a complex.^[2] Rhodaliids have a benthic lifestyle and use their tentacles to attach themselves to the seafloor.^[2]

Rhodaliidae: Brief Summary

provided by wikipedia EN

Rhodaliidae is a family of siphonophores. In Japanese they are called ヒノマルクラゲ (hinomarukurage).

Rhodaliids have a characteristic gas-secreting structure called aurophore. Below the enlarged pneumatophore (float), the siphosome and nectosome are contracted into a complex. Rhodaliids have a benthic lifestyle and use their tentacles to attach themselves to the seafloor.

Diagnosis

provided by World Register of Marine Species

Physonectae with nectosome and siphosome contracted to form a globular complex below the enlarged pneumatophore. The gas-secreting area is developed greatly to form a characteristic structure, the aurophore, extending from the baso-dorsal surface of the pneumatophore. The animals are benthic, attaching themselves to the sea-bed by their tentacles.
