Rhodaliidae is a family of siphonophores. In Japanese they are called ヒノマルクラゲ (hinomarukurage).[5]
Rhodaliids have a characteristic gas-secreting structure called aurophore.[2] Below the enlarged pneumatophore (float), the siphosome and nectosome are contracted into a complex.[2] Rhodaliids have a benthic lifestyle and use their tentacles to attach themselves to the seafloor.[2]
