There are a variety of methods but capturing plankton out of the water that passes them by (or they swim through) is the most common. Some jellyfish also sting and poison they prey with tentacles and nematocysts. Others have symbiotic plants that feed them.

importance of coelenterates
Yes, coelenterates are invertebrates.
harmful effects of coelenterates
A coelenterates habitat is in the ocean and if it is not it lives somewhere
Coelenterates are not cold nor warm blooded
Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) and coelenterates (Cnidaria) differ in several key aspects. Flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical, have a flattened body structure, and lack a true body cavity (coelom), while coelenterates exhibit radial symmetry and possess a simple body plan with a central gastrovascular cavity. Additionally, flatworms have a more complex organ system, including a nervous system and excretory structures, whereas coelenterates are primarily characterized by their specialized stinging cells (cnidocytes) for capturing prey. These fundamental differences reflect their distinct evolutionary adaptations and ecological roles.
Eating Prey
Coelenterates that are found on Cornish shores include the sea anemones, true jellyfish and hydroids.
They have to kill their prey and eat it.
