Jellyfish and coral polyps are both species that are not bilaterally symmertrical, they are radially symmetrical, as are sea anemones which are also related to those species.

∙ 9y agoNo, all jellyfish and sponges do not exhibit radial symmetry demonstrating how closely related they are.

How are jellyfish and squids alike?
Jellyfish are actually closely related to the Hydra. The greatest similarity between the two is that they both have a type of nervous system called a nerve net.
What organisms do jellyfish interact with?

What groups of organisms are more closely related group one earthworm spider jellyfish group two frog trout centipede?
group two consist of similar creatures as they all have bilateral symmetry.
What flower is also a sea animal?
Anemone.Please note that this is a riddle, not a biology question.An anemone is NOT a flower and it is NOT a plant. An anemone is an animal, and it closely related to jellyfish. (Imagine a jellyfish turned upside down: they both have spiral symmetry, stinging tentacles, and a "mouth" (sac gut) in the center). Search for "Cnidarians" to learn more about this group of animals.
What is the only electric jellyfishes name?
There are no electric jellyfish and there are no jellyfish named that. You may be referring to many of the comb jellies that refract light into a brilliant display of moving rainbow colors along their comb rows by the waving of their cilia. In that case, the name of one of the most popular species (because it is prominently displayed at the Monterey Aquarium) is the Mertensia ovum, or 'sea nut' jelly. Unfortunately, even though comb jellies are gelatinous marine invertebrates, they aren't in the same order, class, or even phylum as jellyfish. Most comb jellies, and many hydromedusa (closely related to jellyfish), such as Aequorea victoria and Atolla wyvillei, do exhibit bioluminescence in the dark. But alas, no sea jellies can produce electric shocks.
What is name of class of jellyfish?
The four major classes of medusozoan Cnidaria are:Scyphozoa are often called true jellyfish. They have tetra-radial symmetry. They have tentacles around the outer margin of the bowl-shaped bell, and oral arms around the mouth.Cubozoa (box jellyfish) have a box-shaped bell, and their velarium assists them to swim more quickly. Box jellyfish may be related more closely to "true jellyfish" than either are to hydrozoa.[35]Hydrozoa may form medusa which resemble scyphozoans (but generally with a velum) and are distinguished by an absence of cells in the mesoglea. However, many hydrozoa species do not form medusa at all (such as hydra, which is hence not considered a jellyfish).Staurozoa (stalked jellyfish) do not have a polyp stage, however the medusa is generally sessile, oriented upside down and with a stalk from the "bell" planted to the substrate. Until recently, staurozoa was classified within scyphozoa.
Why are dogs closely related and why?

Why do africans look like apes?
Because they are closely related
What exactly is fire coral?
Fire corals are colonial marine organisms that look rather like real coral. Technically they are not corals, since they are more closely related to Hydra and other hydrozoans.
What organisms appear to be closely related to humans?
Thesus monkey is the most closely related to Humans because it has the least number of differences in cytochrome c.
