Cyclopia (also cyclocephaly or synophthalmia) is a rare form of holoprosencephaly and is a congenital disorder (birth defect) characterized by the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities. Its incidence is 1 in 16,000 in born animals, and 1 in 250 in embryos. Typically, the nose is either missing or replaced with a non-functioning nose in the form of a proboscis. Toxins found in wild plants, such as the Veratrum californicum, can disrupt the embryonic forebrain-dividing process. The mistake of ingesting Veratrum californicum while pregnant is often due to the fact that hellebore, a plant of the same genus, is recommended as a natural treatment for vomiting, cramps, and poor circulation, three conditions that are quite common in pregnant women.

I assume you are referring to the "Sea Strawberries" that afflicted the crew of the We're Here in Rudyard Kipling's Captains Courageous. Unfortunately, we do not know exactly as to what the author was referring to. Most likely it was some form of red jellyfish that stuck to the lines as they were being hauled up. It has also been suggested that it could be a form of bryozoan, though only one or two species cause irritation, and that is very light. There is also a type of soft coral called Sea Strawberries (Gersemia Rubiformis). These do not sting, although there are some corals that do (however, hydroid corals do NOT look similar to the strawberries). In Europe a form of sea-squirt or sponge is also called a Sea Strawberry, the Aplidium Elegans. I do not believe that these sting however.
