Die Familie der Nesselfarne (Plumulariidae) sind federartige, zwischen 5 und 50 Zentimeter hoch werdende Hydrozoen. Viele nesseln sehr stark. Einige Arten leben in Symbiose mit Zooxanthellen.

Plumularidae of America (1900)

Charles Cleveland Nutting, an American zoologist, wrote the first survey of what he then called 'Plumularidæ' of America in 1900.^[3] Before him, Louis Agassiz had mentioned only three species in 1862. His son Alexander Agassiz recognized six species. In 1877 George Allman described twenty-six species. Nutting gives descriptions and figures of about one hundred and twenty-one species! He writes:

It is now evident that the West Indian region is the richest in plumularian life of any area of equal size in the world. Not even the Australian region, hitherto regarded as by far the most prolific in these exceedingly graceful organisms, can equal our own southern waters in profusion of genera and species.
