FIGURE 12 in Carcinoecium-forming Epizoanthus [Hexacorallia: Zoantharia] and the biology of E. papillosus in the eastern Atlantic, with special reference to the cnidom

FIGURE 12. Scyphozoan nematocysts sequestered by two Epizoanthus papillosus carcinoecia; all from the zoanthid's mesenteric filaments. A–B, Intact and exploded euryteles from polyp 4L; C–D, Intact and exploded O-isorhizas from polyp 4L; E, Unexploded a-isorhiza from polyp 4L; F, Exploded birhopaloid from polyp 3S; G–H, Intact and exploded large A-isorhizas from polyp 3S. Polyps are identified by the number of polyps in the colony (3–4) and whether they were the largest (L) or smallest (S). Unmarked scale bars = 10 µm. Nematocyst nomenclature from Östman & Hydman (1997).
