Some shallow-water hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) from the central east coast of Florida, USA
This paper gives a systematic account of 67 species, referable to 22 families and 40 genera, identified in a small collection of hydroids from the central Atlantic coast of Florida between Melbourne and Palm Beach. The fauna mostly comprises an assemblage of tropical western Atlantic species ranging...
