[Cnidaria] Help in identification

[Andre Carrara Morandini]

Dear Cristina,

It looks like a Lychnorhiza specimen, but it is important to check the gastrovascular canals to be sure (unfortunately not seen in your images). See attached image of canal system.

Have a look at the following website  http://thescyphozoan.ucmerced.edu/Syst/Rhi/Lych_lucerna_i.html

Regards...
