Portuguese Man o' War: An Organism Made of Organisms?

Many consist of feathery or bushy colonies of tiny polyps. They attach to pilings, shells, seaweeds, and other surfaces. The polyps can be specialized for feeding, defense, or reproduction. Reproductive polyps produce small, transparent medusa. These are usually planktonic and release gametes into the water. The fertilized eggs develop into free-swimming planula larvae. Each planula settles on the bottom and develops into a polyp. The first polyp divides repeatedly and develops into a colony of many interconnected polyps.

Encrusting sponges form thin, sometimes brightly colored growths on rocks or dead coral

Coralline sponges have a soft body that covers a hard, often massive skeleton made of calcium carbonate.

Sponges can grow into branching, tubular, round, or volcano-like masses that sometimes reach a huge size.

Rotifers are multicellular animals with body cavities that are partially lined by mesoderm. These organisms have specialized organ systems and a complete digestive tract that includes both a mouth and anus. Since these characteristics are all uniquely animal characteristics, rotifers are recognized as animals, even though they are microscopic.

After sponges comes the evolution of multicellular animals with tissues that perform specific functions. It gives them the ability to swim, respond to external stimuli, and engulf prey. Cnidarians, also known as coelenterates, include sea anemones, jellyfishes (sea jellies), and corals. Cnidarians display radial symmetry and have a centrally located mouth surrounded by tentacles, slender, finger-like extensions used to capture and handle food. The mouth opens into a gut, where food is digested. It's gut is a blind cavity with only one opening, the mouth. Cnidarians capture small prey by discharging their nematocycts, which are unique, stinging structures found within cnidocysts, cells specialized in the tentacles. There are two forms of Cnidarians: polyps, a sac-like attached stage with the mouth and tentacles pointed upward, and a bell-like medusa (commonly known as jellyfish), which is like an upside-down polyp adapted for swimming. The characteristic larva of most cnidarians is the planula, a cylindarical, ciliated stage consisting of two layers of cells. Two layers of cells from the body wall of cnidarians.

A porifera is one of the simplest phylums, they are parazoa. Porifera are more formally known as sponges, who are sessile organisms (meaning they live on the sea floor). They have porous bodies which means they don’t have any specialized tissues! Porifera are characterized by special cells called coanocytes. A sponge's body plan consists of a large sac with holes along its sides. In these holes, water is drawn into the large central cavity known as the spongocoel, where it is released through the large hole on the top called the osculum. Sponges consume food and nutrients by forming currents and trapping food by flagellated cells called choanocytes, which are lined up in the spongocoel. Amebocytes travel throughout the inner cells transporting nutrients and form spicules for support. Sponges are hermaphrodites. Male and female gametes are formed, while male gametes disperse into the water column, female gametes remain inside the organisms. When male gametes fertilize with female gametes, a larvae is created. Adult sponges have the choice to procreate sexually or asexually. Sponges live from the poles to the tropics, but the largest number of species inhabits shallow tropical waters.
