8. Hydra is defined in The American Heritage Dictionary as any of several small freshwater polyps of the genus Hydra and related genera, having a naked cylindrical body and an oral opening surrounded by tentacles.' This is structurally appropriate to the present systems. The term hydraphile also connotes to us the concept of hydrophilicity. We favor 'hydraphile' over the more cumbersome 'bolaamphiphile' which evokes a vision of random spheres at the ends of swirling and disorganized tethers.
