They're called cnidocytes. ^^
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are located on specialized structures called nematocysts. These nematocysts are found on the tentacles of cnidarians and are used for defense and capturing prey.
Cnidarians all have stinging cells called nematocysts with which to catch their prey.
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are usually located on specialized structures called tentacles. These tentacles are used by cnidarians for defense, capturing prey, and delivering venom.
All cnidarians live in water, have tentacles with specialized stinging cells called nematocysts, and have an internal sac for digestion which is called the gastrovascular cavity.

Ctenophores are gelatinous creatures with rows of cilia for movement and lack stinging cells, while cnidarians have stinging cells called cnidocytes. Ctenophores also have a simpler body structure compared to the more complex body plans of cnidarians, which include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
The characteristic that gives cnidarians their name is: cnidarian means "nettle" and nettles are plants that release stinging barbs into the skin. All cnidarians have stinging cell's. Cnidarians have complex tissues, a gut for digesting food, and a nervous system.
Some examples of specialized cells in cnidarians include cnidocytes (stinging cells) used for defense and capturing prey, sensory cells for detecting movement and light, and muscle cells for movement and contraction. Additionally, some cnidarians have specialized cells that secrete mucus or digestive enzymes for feeding.
Cnidarians are a phylum of invertebrate animals that includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. They are characterized by their radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use to capture prey. Cnidarians are found in marine environments around the world.
Cnidarians are members of the phylum Cnidaria. They are a diverse group of animals that includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. Cnidarians are characterized by their radial symmetry, specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, and a basic body plan with a central mouth surrounded by tentacles.
Stinging cells, also known as cnidocytes, are unique to cnidarians. They contain a specialized structure called a nematocyst that can inject toxins into prey or predators. This enables cnidarians to defend themselves, capture prey, and deter predators.
