The hydra also benefit from algal products. from www.offwell.free-online.co.uk/hydra.htm Hydra eat one celled animals, small crustaceans, worms, insects and other tiny animals. They are also reported to eat small fish fry in the aquarium, where they do occasionally show up. Hydra have a saclike body and a circle of tentacles at around the body opening. This opening is used for both taking in food and eliminating wastes. from http://www.naturalaquariums.com/inverts/hydra.html So this would make them heterotrophs. AliceJM
