Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.

Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

 

Aegina citrea

Sometimes known as the “Golf Tee Medusa” Aegina citrea is a species of Aeginid hydrozoan that boasts a cosmopolitan distribution throughout the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Like other many other cnidarians Aegina citrea is a planktonic ‘predator’ feeding on small invertebrates and other organisms.
