Box plots indicating the size distributions for the GCD of anthocyathi, GBSD, and GCD of the anthocauli for four abundance quartiles, and the photo characteristics measured for each specimen. The data are based on 41 specimens of anthocyathi and 11 specimens of anthocauli. The center line of each box plot represents the median abundance; the lower and upper edges of the boxes denote the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively; and the whiskers denote the maximum and minimum percentiles. (A) Lateral views of GCD of anthocyathus without GBSD. (B) Lateral view of the GCD of anthocyathus with GBSD. (C) Bottom view of the GBSD of anthocyathus. (D) Lateral views of the GCD of anthocaulus (undescribed species). Scale bars = 1 mm.
