| has gloss | eng: Physalia is a genus of the order Siphonophora, colonies of four specialized polyps and medusoids that drift on the surface of the Indian and Pacific oceans. A gas filled bladder, resembling a blue bottle, maintains their buoyancy, and a single long tentacle of venomous cnidocytes provide the animal with a means of capturing prey. A sail on their float, which may be left or right-handed, propel groups of Physalia about the sea. Individuals within these groups sometimes become stranded on beaches, where their toxic nematocysts can remain potent for weeks or months in moist conditions. |
