Figure 5

Settled primary polyps of D. cylindrus . A settled primary polyp 17 days after spawning (A) extends its characteristically large tentacles during the day, as do adults of this species. The same settler 77 days after spawning (B) shows growth of the tentacles and skeleton. This represents the first successful settlement and survival of D. cylindrus in the laboratory. Scale bars represent 0.5 mm.
