Coelenterates, also known as Cnidarians (alternate phylum name) are a phylum of marine invertebrates.
They are divided into 4 major classes:
| Anthozoa | Hydrozoa | Scyphozoa | Cubozoa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coral & sea anemones | Hydroids, Portuguese Man-o-War | Jellyfishes | Box Jellyfish |
Most Coelenterates obtain prey by catching small planktonic creatures with nematocysts located in their tentacles.
