    Cnidaria includes jellyfish and sea anemones. Jellyfish have a radial symmetrical body divided into an umbrella, oral arms, and stinging tentacles, and digest internally in a central cavity accessed through a single opening. Sea anemones are soft-bodied polyps with two tissue layers and a central gut, surrounded by stinging tentacles which capture food and defend against enemies that enter the central mouth.

    PHYLUM CNIDARIA

    Class: Scyphozoa
    Order: Semaeostomeae
    Family: Ulmaridae
    Genus: Aurelia
    Species: Aurelia aurita
    Main Features:
    Jellyfish are invertebrate animals they live in the open seas. Their body exhibits radial
    symmetry and is divided into three main parts: the umbrella, the oral arms and the stinging
    tentacles. They have an internal cavity, in which digestion is carried out. This cavity has a
    single aperture which functions both the mouth and the anus.
    Class: Anthozoa
    Order: Actiniaria
    Family: Hormathiidae
    Genus: Monactis
    Species: M. vestita
    Main Features:
    Sea anemones have a soft, simple polyp-style body with two tissue layers and a central gut
    cavity. The anemone's "mouth" leads to its gut. The "mouth" of the anemone is surrounded
    by stinging tentacles which are used to disarm food -- such as plankton and small animals --
    and to disable enemies.
