Tentacle sheath musculature in walkerioidean and victorelloidean ctenostomes showing a diagonal arrangement of muscle fibres. a Distal tip of the tentacle sheath of Aeverillia setigera. Note the pore complex separating the spinozooid. Volume rendering. b Lophophoral base of Victorella pavida. Maximum intensity projection. c Protruded lophophoral base of Triticella flava. Volume rendering.
