  hopefully our ctenophora master will show up soon to help us solve this mystery..

  very strange!! I don't think it is a ctenophore. The other images you posted with the faint tentacles make me think it might be a sipho

  oh, thanks! there's one more.. crisp: http://talk.planktonportal.org/#/subjects/APK0002pcj

  or a fragment of a sipho.. might be nectophores/swimming bells. Otherwise I would say some strange protist colony. I will forward this guy

  I will check now! This may be a newly budding physonect sipho,not just a fragment.Think I c a pneumatophore & zooids bud on stem from there

  Posted February 23, 2014 5:53 PM

• by yshish moderator, translator

  cool! so should i tag them as a #corncob nextime?

  Posted February 23, 2014 6:03 PM

• by cguigand scientist, admin

  that's tough one but it could be an #ephyra view from the side. It is a medusa larval stage. May be

• by yshish moderator, translator

  @cguigand: have you seen the links where it has cydippid-like branching tentacles? do ephyras have them too?
