You have described body plan of a medusa...... and a jellyfish is a good example of a medusa.
An example of a cnidarian where the medusa body plan is the dominant form is the jellyfish, specifically species like the moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita). In these organisms, the medusa stage is the sexually reproductive phase, allowing for widespread dispersal and reproduction in the water column. The polyp stage is typically reduced and often occurs in less prominent forms, such as during early life stages.
No, polyps are the anchored versions, anemones and hydras and such. The umbrella is called a medusa, or jellyfish.
The black ball sponge, known scientifically as Xestospongia muta, exhibits radial symmetry. This means that its body is organized around a central axis, allowing for similar structures to be arranged in a circular pattern around that axis. This symmetry is typical of many sponge species, which enables them to efficiently filter water and capture food particles from all directions. Their simple body plan reflects their evolutionary adaptations to their aquatic environments.
It has a single layer of cell. Lay a paper on a flat surface. With your hands on the surface, push two sides together until you make something that looks like a polyp. Voila! Something similar to a crosssection of a sponge. Think of the paper as cells in a single line.

The highest level of organization a sponge has are Cells.
The phylum that has a body plan that is essentially a tube within a tube is the Phylum Platyhelminthes, which includes flatworms. They have a simple body structure with a digestive tract that is a tube running from mouth to anus along the central axis of their body.
A tube-shaped body with a mouth surrounded by tentacles typically describes a cnidarian, such as a sea anemone or a jellyfish. In these organisms, the tentacles are equipped with specialized cells called nematocysts, which can deliver stinging cells to capture prey and provide defense. This body plan allows them to thrive in aquatic environments, where they can float or anchor themselves to surfaces.
Flatworms exhibit a bilateral symmetry and aacoelomate body plan, meaning they lack a body cavity and have a simplified organization with three tissue layers. In contrast, cnidarians have a radial symmetry and a body plan characterized by a gelatinous mesoglea layer, with two main tissue layers: the ectoderm and endoderm, and a central gastrovascular cavity. Additionally, cnidarians possess specialized cells called cnidocytes for capturing prey, which flatworms lack. Overall, these fundamental differences in symmetry, body organization, and tissue structure distinguish flatworms from cnidarians.
