A comb jelly, or ctenophore, is primarily classified as a pelagic organism, meaning it lives in the water column rather than on the seafloor. While it can be found at various depths in the ocean and may occasionally come into contact with the benthic zone, it is not considered benthic. Therefore, comb jellies are more accurately categorized as part of the nekton or plankton, depending on their ability to swim against currents.
The scientific name of comb jelly is Ctenophora.
Dolphins are nektonic. An animal in the benthic category would be something that lived on the ocean floor such as an octopus, coral or small fish.
