Crossword-Solution: ACALEPHE 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 15

Some procure their food from the water, and cannot live out of the water, but neither inhale air nor water, as the acalephe[2] and the oyster.

Other animals also there are which are alternately fixed together or free, this is the case with a certain kind of acalephe; some of these become separated during the night, and emigrate.

The class acalephe[135] is peculiar; it adheres to rocks like some of the testacea, but at times it is washed off.

There are two kinds of acalephe, some small and more eatable, others large and hard, such as are found near Chalcis.

The body of some of them is naturally fleshy, as of those which are called tethya; and the acalephe and the sponge entirely resemble plants; the progress is always gradual by which one appears to have more life and motion than another.
