Fistuliphragma

Fistuliphragma is an extinct genus of cystoporate bryozoans of the family Fistuliporidae^[1] that lived in the Devonian period. Its colonies could have branched or encrusting forms, with hollow tubular branches in the case of the branched form, and possessed a well-developed vesicular skeleton. Its autozooecia possessed prominent lunaria and hemiphragms. The genus is distinct from Cliotrypa and Strotopora because of the absence of gonozooecia.^[3]
