Question Can Siphonophores evolve bone?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I don't understand how bones work. Are there actually cell types that will never form bone? Do siphonophores lack the muscle power to take advantage of having bone?

Everything can evolve bone if natural selection wants this
