How did the Xyloplax medusiformis get its name?
From 'xylo' meaning 'wood' (as they grow on DEEP sea wood - an unusual habitat since wood doesn't grow in the deep sea so these creatures have to find wood that sunk - typically from an old ship)From 'plax' meaning 'plates' as the outer shell is formed from a lot of small platelets - (picture the head of a Portabella mushroom with a shingled roof)'Medusa' is a mythological female Greek Gorgon having a head with many snakes growing out of it instead of hair, which is probably where jellyfish got the name "Medusa" as inscyphomedusae, stauromedusae, cubomedusae, and hydromedusae; medusa is another word for jellyfish.'formis' implies "having the form of", but in the case of Xyloplax, the medusiformis part of the name is more in reference to the resemblance of that type of Xyloplax to the medusa stage of coelenterates (like jellyfish or medusa) Its circular body and ring of spines have a resemblance to a jellyfish.
