Characteristics of Cnidarians-Nematocysts- small organelles
used to capture prey and ward off predators, located on the tentacles-Radially symmetrical-Sexual Production in Medusae, Asexual Budding in Polyps

CNIDARIANS
Anthozoa
Hydrozoa
Scyphozoa
Three Major Types
![Page 5: An Introduction to the Phylum Cnidaria & Nematoda Invertebrates.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649eff5503460f94c14690/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
#1- AnthozoaInclude the corals that build great
reefs in tropical
waters, as well as sea anemones,
sea fans, and sea pens.

The oldest anthozoans
are probably
the polyp-like and sea
pen-like fossils from the Vendian
(late Precambrian) period.

Most hydrozoans switch between a polyp and a medusa stage, but they spend part of their lives as "jellyfish,” and they are predatory
Dioecious and colonial
#2-Hydrozoa

#3- ScyphozoaDespite their large size, jellyfish have no head, no skeleton, and no special organs for respiration or excretion. Their life cycle involves an alternation between polyp phase and a medusa stage, though the medusa stage usually predominates.

Cubozoa
They appear cubic from
above, and have four evenly spaced out tentacles or bunches of
tentacles and well-developed
eyes.IMAGE LOCATION: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/cnidaria/cubozoa.html
Arguably, Cubozoans are
a 4th group

Additional FactsOn Cnidarians
Cnidarians have a single orifice and
body cavity used for digestion and respiration.
Most cnidarians prey on organisms from plankton to animals larger than themselves, however most
obtain much of their nutrition from endosymbiotic algae, and some are
parasitic.
Cnidarians make up corals - found in warm, shallow marine waters - other cnidarians live in the depths, in polar seas and in freshwater.

Found in soil and sediments
Some can parasitize humans
