[2][1][3] Callianira bialata is a species of ctenophora characterized by its gelatinous, lobed body with a pale pink coloration.

[citation needed] The species exhibits two axes of symmetry, and possesses two retractable tentacles used to capture prey, each with numerous small branches called tentilla.

[citation needed] If observed closely, eight vertical bands can be seen extending from the posterior part of the body.

[2] The vast majority of ctenophores, including Callianira bialata, feed on zooplankton (small organisms carried by currents) and ichthyoplankton (fish eggs and larvae).

[citation needed] These organisms are hermaphroditic, meaning they possess both female and male gonads.
