Phylum Cnidaria, Class Hydrozoa, Order Leptothecata, Family Acanthaceae. Twigs grow alternately from a single trunk attached to a rock, forming a feathery colony about 4cm high. The colony is yellowish brown, and the upper side of the twigs is densely lined with cup-shaped hydropods, each of which has three small teeth (stinging capsules). The reproductive organs are completely enclosed in a large basket-like structure formed by the transformation of a dozen or so twigs. It is found on the seabed at depths of several meters along the coasts south of central Honshu.
