What in hell is a Coelenterate?

A coelenterate used to describe the taxon of invertebrates that included the jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and comb jellies. Recently, this classification was split into two phylums, the cnidarians (jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) and the ctenophorians (comb jellies). The term coelenterate is now only used informally to describe members of either phylum, and may well eventually pass from common usage as an archaic reference (but don't mention that to dyed-in-the-wool taxonomists, quite yet).
