Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis, also known as the Capricorn cardinalfish, is a species of ray-finned fish, a cardinalfish from the family Apogonidae which occurs around reefs in the western Pacific Ocean. "Ostorhinchus capricornis" is dusky yellow in colour, this lightens to bronze or golden yellow on the ventral surfave. It has a black spot around the caudal peduncle and it has two "neon" blue stripes which run through the eye, the lower stripe extending to the posterior edge of the operculum. It grows to a maximum standard length of . It is similar to the yellow cardinalfish ("Ostorhinchus flavus") but
Avicularium shape as the autozooids. Interzooidal avicularia are wedged between autozooids but do not replace an autozooid. Adventitious avicularia are placed somewhere on the external (frontal) wall of an autozooid and are usually much smaller. The 'birds-head' avicularium (e.g. "Bugula") is elevated above the colony by a stalk (peduncle). A zooid where the operculum is modified into a very long, hair-like structure is called a vibraculum. The cylcostome family Eleidae, which convergently evolved an opercular structure during the Early Cretaceous to Paleocene, also possess avicularia-like zooids. Avicularium The avicularium (pl. avicularia) in cheilostome bryozoans is a modified, non-feeding zooid. The operculum,
