What do the two body forms of cnidarians look like?
There are two cnidarian body shapes, the bell-shaped Medusa, whose tentacles face downward and the vase-shaped polyp, whose tentacles face upward. Cnidarians have stinging cells in their tentacles known as cnidocytes. These cells include a trigger that releases a toxin-coated stinger that paralyzes any organism that has come into contact with is. Examples of a medusa include the common jellyfish, and examples of a polyp include corals and sea anemones.
Number of young of jellyfish?
It depends on how long the polyp lives, because the polyp creates the baby jellyfish. If it gets killed after letting off one batch of jellies, you can expect somewhere in between 8-16 new jellies. but usually, polyps live long enough to make several new batches of jellies. Also, a polyp may bud off another polyp, which will also begin making new jellies. So one jellyfish may make hundreds or thousands of new jellies. Of course, not all of them survive.(Just to let you know, polyps finish growing baby jellies roughly yearly)

Explain the difference between a polyp and a Medusa?
A polyp is anchored to substrate, like a rock or piece of coral. Anemones are polyps. They catch food with their tentacles and have the mouth on the upside. A medusa is swimming freely. Jellyfish are medusa stages. They catch food with their trailing tentacles and have the mouth on the downside. You can view polyps as the settled ´plant´ and medusa as the free-floating ´seed´, like in a dandelion. Though they aren´t plants at all, of course.
