Has your hydroid been ID'd as a digitate hydroid?

Looks like you nailed it. Sorry about your alphabetical order.

I think I need to petition to have the name changed to Dzanclea. Still have lots of poking around to do. It probably at least belongs in the Anthoathecata group.

I'm avoiding references from the hobby itself at the moment.

So, I'm settling on Candelabridae for the family and am even confident Candelabrum spp is the genus.

I have searched far for a species name with no true conclusion.

Call them the "Jerk String". But I guess in latin.

Well, it would be nice if it had a name that began with a D so it won't mess with my alphabetical order.... so work on that for me, would ya? D names only :)

Okay -- "Da Jerk String"
