Tubularian \Tu`bu*la"ri*an\, n. (Zool.)
Any hydroid belonging to the suborder Tubularida.
[1913 Webster]
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.
