All Cnidarians are mobile at some point in their lifetime. For most, it is in the larval stage. Jellyfish start out as mobile larva, then become sessile, then become the mobile jellyfish you are familiar with. Others, like corals, start out as mobile larva, settle down and remain sessile for the rest of their adult life. As adults, hydra can be mobile or sessile, as they choose, but they don't swim far.
