Each rhopalium is typically associated with a pair of sensory pits, a statocyst, and sometimes a pigment-cup ocellus. Most species appear to be gonochorists...

organs of the scaly-foot gastropod include statocysts surrounded by the oesophageal gland, each statocyst with a single statolith. There are also sensory...

Mostly these are simple sensory nerve endings, but they also include statocysts and primitive light-sensitive ocelli. Hydroid colonies are usually dioecious...
