[Coral-List] regeneration in hydra

[Douglas Fenner]

Hydra is a single polyp, lives in fresh water, often used for biology study
because of its simplicity, small size, ease of keeping.  Likely, many
findings in Hydra may apply to corals.

Hydras can regrow their heads.  Scientists want to know how they do it.

("head" is a poor name for the oral end of the polyp)
