See text Family-level: Genus-level: Solanderia is the sole genus of hydrozoans in the monotypic family Solanderiidae.

The skeleton is formed by coalescence and modification of adjacent hydrocauline tubes.

The hydranths cover the whole colony surface and are uniform in structure, cylindrical, with a single whorl of capitate tentacles around the mouth.

Solanderia is known from its polyp or hydroid stage, and produces gonophores which release sperm and eggs for reproduction.

[3] Species of Solanderia are eaten by nudibranchs in the genus Hermosita and the family Pleurolidiidae.
