Comb jellies are somewhat different from true jellies (cnidarians). They lack stinging nematocysts and have developed other strategies to feed and protect themselves. Some of these include oral lobes to capture prey and sticky tentacles.

Yes, moon jellies (Aurelia aurita) possess nematocysts, which are specialized stinging cells found within their tentacles. These cells contain tiny harpoon-like structures that can release toxins to capture prey or defend against predators.
