Definition: Any hydroid belonging to the suborder Tubularida.
Note: These hydroids usually form tufts of delicate tubes, and both
gonophores and hydranths are naked. The gonophores of many of the
species become free jellyfishes; those of other species remain
permanently attached as medusoid buds or sporosacs. See Illust. under
Gonosome, and Cymnoblastea.
