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.
