shaped. The tentacles are distributed over 

 the body, but they differ in having the ends 

 knobbed, the knobs being fully armed with 

 dart sacks. The gonophores are round or 

 oval in shape, and are formed between the 

 tentacles. The main stem is erect, and rises 

 to a height of four or five inches. It branches 

 at intervals and becomes several times pinnate, 

 the polypites being terminal. The polypary 

 is regularly ringed, and extends to the base of 

 the polypite, where it slightly expands and is 

 more or less wrinkled. 



Coryne vaginata is common in rock pools 

 from mid to low tide.
