    The document describes the skeleton types and hardness of various marine invertebrate specimens. It lists the specimens' dominant life stage as polyps and describes their skeletons as either hydrostatic, calcareous exoskeletons made of aragonite or collagen endoskeletons containing calcium carbonate spicules, and whether the skeleton is soft or stony. The majority have soft collagen endoskeletons but some have stony calcareous exoskeletons.

    Original Description:

    cnidaria
