Cnidereans have pressure-sensitive poison glands called nematocysts that are usually on their tentacles. When their [prey] touches these nematocysts, small "fangs" inject poison into the [prey]. The poison in the nematocysts can paralyze or even kill small animals. Once the prey is subdued, the tentacles pull the prey towards the mouth.
