Medusa
The free floating body form of cnidarians is called a medusa. Medusae have a bell-shaped body with tentacles hanging down, and they are often seen swimming in the water. Examples include jellyfish and hydromedusae.
Cnidarians are segmented into two main classes: Anthozoa (sea anemones and corals) and Medusozoa (jellyfish and hydrozoans), based on their body forms. Anthozoa are generally sedentary, with a polyp body form, while Medusozoa are typically free-swimming with a medusa body form.
The body systems that cnidarians have take two forms. The main body forms are medusa and polyp. Cnidarians do not have a transport system and the body surface is used for gaseous exchange.

Freefloating and submerged aquatic plants.
Anthozoans are cnidarians that do not have a Medusa stage. This class includes organisms like corals and sea anemones, which exist solely in the polyp form throughout their life cycle. Unlike other cnidarians such as jellyfish, anthozoans are primarily sessile and have a more complex body plan adapted for their specific habitats.
