An organism or structure that bears or carries a chlamys-like cloak or sheath.
From Greek chlamys (cloak, sheath) + -phore (bearer, carrier), following the productive -phore pattern in biology meaning 'that which carries or bears.'
The -phore suffix creates words meaning 'carrier'—like 'phosphore' (light-carrier)—so 'chlamydophore' means anything that carries a cloak-like structure!
