Bryozoans are generally hermaphroditic. Rather than having discrete gonads, transient germ tissues on the zooid’s body wall peritoneum or on the funiculus (which connects the gut to the body wall) produce gametes. While sperm is spawned through pores in lophophore tentacles, eggs are usually harbored inside the body wall, and are internally fertilized by sperm, coming in on lophophore feeding currents (Brusca and Brusca 2003; Kozloff 1990).
