Aglaura hemistoma
species of cnidarian
Aglaura is a monotypic genus of deep-sea hydrozoan in the family Rhopalonematidae. It is represented by the species Aglaura hemistoma. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to temperate oceans. A. hemistoma are omnivorous creatures, feeding on protistan and microplanktonic prey. They utilize water current flow fields and ambush predation strategies for prey capture. Flow fields are generated by their tentacles and nonmotile prey are easily ingested as they are directed towards the manubrium. Ambush capture is achieved by triggering quick tentacle contractions upon direct contact to move prey towards the manubrium.
“Aglaura hemistoma” enters the record as species of cnidarian. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Aglaura, hemistoma and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Aglaura hemistoma” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Aglaura, hemistoma and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2752599. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
