Staurozoa is a class of Medusozoa, jellyfishes and hydrozoans. It has one extant order, Stauromedusae (stalked jellyfishes), and one extinct order, Conulatae.[2] The extinct order is largely unknown and described as a possibly cnidarian clade of marine life with shell-like structures, the Conulariida. Staurozoans are small animals [1–4 cm (0.4–1.6 in.)] that live in marine environments, usually attached to seaweeds, rocks, or gravel.[3] They have a large antitropical distribution, a majority found in boreal or polar, near-shore, and shallow waters. Few staurozoans are found in warmer tropical and subtropical water environments of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean basins, but most are known from the Northern Hemisphere.[4]
