Cnidarian



Jellyfish, anemones, and corals, are some examples of animals that belong to the phylum Cnidarian. They are all radially symmetrical, which means their body extends out like a bicycle spoke. A perfect example of this is a starfish. All cnidarians have tentacles with  stinging  cells so that they can catch prey for food.
