(A) In the Phylum $Coelenterata$ (Cnidaria),organisms exhibit two main body forms: the polyp and the medusa. $Physalia$ (Portuguese man-of-war) is a well-known example of a colonial form,where individuals live together in a colony. $Adamsia$ (Sea anemone) is a solitary polyp. $Meandrina$ (Brain coral) is a colonial form but is typically described as a reef-building coral. $Gorgonia$ (Sea fan) is also a colonial form. However,in the context of standard biology curriculum questions regarding colonial forms in $Cnidaria$,$Physalia$ is the most frequently cited example.
