Corydendrium parasiticum, Stalk section of colony showing branching pattern, magnification × 8. br. = branch, coen. = coenosarc, n.t.1/2/3/4 = new tubes enveloping a branch from a coenosarcal strand and wedged in between older tubes, peri. = perisarc, ram.1/2/3 = short bearing hydranths, st. = stem.
