Some jellyfish of the class Hydrozoa can rejuvenate to an early stadium , avoiding death. Japanese scientist proved that jellyfish contain substances that give benefit to human skin.

How does the moon jellyfish protect itself?

Jellyfish have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located on their tentacles and on their manubrium. Whenever a predator comes in contact with cnidocytes, hundreds to thousands of cnidae (filaments of the nematocysts) are ejected in the predator's direction. Nematocysts' cnidae inoculate a poisonous or allergenic mixture into the predator's body.


How do cnidarians eat?

Mainly through suspension feeding. Cnidarians use stinging tentacles (nomocytes) to capture their prey. Once the tentacles grab the food it is absorbed in the gastrovascular cavity (stomach) and taken in asnutrients.


How do jellyfish find each other?

Most jellyfish are passive drifters that feed on living or dead preys: small fish, eggs, zooplankton and other invertebrates that become caught in their tentacles. Preys are brought (by tentacles, if they have any) into the cavity, called coelenteron, where it is digested. Jellyfish have an incomplete digestive system, meaning that the same orifice is used for both food intake and waste expulsion. Jellyfish have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located on their tentacles, mainly. Whenever a prey comes in contact with cnidocilia (structures of the cnidocytes), hundreds to thousands of cnidae (filaments of the nematocysts) are ejected into the prey 's direction; nematocysts' cnidae inoculate a poisonous or allergenic mixture into the prey 's body; the prey , if live, die by osmotic shock, paralysis or anaphylactic shock and is then brought to the mouth with tentacles or with oral arms. Jellyfish of the Order Rhizostomeae have no tentacles, instead they have cnidocytes on the manubrium (oral arms).they attract fish and digest them through their stingers
