But we know very little about them.. or their shallow water relatives. Its possible there's a more easily studied analog that is not as in regularly inaccessible that might give us more insight.ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784970666468925633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433304117507034540.post-86365283408258378492017-06-03T03:33:29.528-07:002017-06-03T03:33:29.528-07:00Has there been any effort to find out if they use ...Has there been any effort to find out if they use some sort of toxin or sedating substance to render the cnidarians so inert while being fed upon?

The others are all Colossendeis and it looks like at least two different species of Colossendeis. It is nearly impossible, based on photos, to ID to species. The actual specimens are needed for this.<br /><br />@Andrew Mahon, we don't know much about reproduction in the Colossendeidae, but we are finding more and more juveniles and are learning a few new things about the Colossendeis life cycle that way.Bonnie Bainhttp://www.invertebrate.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433304117507034540.post-41365238485807525782017-04-25T06:52:38.432-07:002017-04-25T06:52:38.432-07:00It ALWAYS amazes me that even though we've kno...It ALWAYS amazes me that even though we've known about the giant Colossendeis and family (Colossendeidae) since 1864 I believe, we STILL don't know how that entire family reproduces! All others use paternal care....but the big ones? No info...never seen. etc.Andrew Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908575584808779395noreply@blogger.com
