siphonophora
Siphonophora is an order of marine animals in the phylum Cnidaria, which includes the extremely diverse group of sea creatures including jellyfish and coral. Unlike most sea creatures, siphonophores are colonial organisms made up of specialized individual animals, called zooids, that are not able to survive independently, giving the appearance of one single organism. They are known for their length, as some siphonophores like the Portuguese man o' war can reach over 30 meters long.
