Coelenterates are, in fact, an olde Phyla. I believe that they are known as Cnidarian.
I wish you the best of luck in researching their different body types.

In phylum Cnidaria, the main type of polymorphism is known as polymorphism resulting in distinct forms with specialized functions. This includes the presence of individuals with different body shapes and functions within the same species, such as polyps for feeding and reproduction and medusae for dispersal and locomotion. Additionally, some species exhibit polymorphism in terms of feeding strategies, with some being autotrophic and others being heterotrophic.

Characteristics of phylum coelenterata?
Phylum Cnidaria, formerly known as Coelenterata, includes animals like jellyfish, sea anemones, and coral. They have radial symmetry, stinging cells called nematocysts for defense and prey capture, and a simple nerve net instead of a centralized brain. Many species have a polyp and medusa body form during their life cycle.
What is the phylum of the bell or umbrella shaped bodies animals?
The phylum of bell or umbrella-shaped animals is Cnidaria. These animals have radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use for capturing prey and defense. Examples of animals in this phylum include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.

What is polymorphism and its types?
Polymorphism means multiple form of a function, variable or object. In Computer Science, polymorphism is a programming language feature that allows values of different data types to be handles using a common interface. There are three types : Ad-Hoc Polymosphism, Parametric Polymorphism, Subtype/Inclusion Polymorphism. Source: Wikipedia.

The comb jellies in phylum ctenophora and the cnidarians in phylum cnidaria have which type of symmetry?
Due to their similarities, it was originally considered that both comb jellies and cnidarians went in the Phylum Coelenterata. However, these days, comb jellies are considered as Phylum Ctenophora and cnidarians as a separate phylum Phylum Cnidaria. Cnidaria includes box jellies, jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones and corals.
