Couldn't Find the Name (sad)

These are just misc. siphonophores that I couldn't find the name of the species. That or maybe they're from a species I already listed and I just didn't notice. Either way they look cool as fuck.

Forskalia formosa.

While appearing to be a single organism, siphonophores are actually colonial animals, with individuals being specialized for different functions such as movement, feeding, or reproduction within the colony.
