What is the cnidarians string cells?

They are called pneumatocysts. They are the stinging cells used for killing prey, as all cnidarians are predators. They are cells that contain poison, and have little barbs on them to inject the poison with. With some cnidarians, the little barbs are all that you feel because their poison is only strong enough to kill plankton. With other cnidarians, however, the poison in the pneumatocysts is strong and can be deadly. The main purpose of the pneumatocysts is to kill prey, but they are also useful against predators.

Cnidarians are the group of invertebrate animals which possess stinging cells called cnidocytes. The popularly-known cnidarians fall into only a couple of major groups.

How do cnidarians catch there pray?

The nematocysts allow the animal to hold the prey and venom is injected. The venom is often a neurotoxin that disables the prey and prevents too much damage to the soft bodied cnidarian. There are also chemicals injected that begin the digestion process. When the prey is ingested, more digestive chemicals are used.
