Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, are uniquely characterized by their eight rows of cilia, which they use for locomotion. These cilia, arranged like combs, create a shimmering effect as they propel the animal through the water. Additionally, many ctenophores possess specialized cells called colloblasts that capture prey, making them distinct from other gelatinous marine animals. Their ability to bioluminesce is another fascinating feature that sets them apart in the marine ecosystem.

How do ctenophores differ from cnidarians?
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.

What are pleurobancia?
Pleurobanchia* A genus of ctenophores having an ovate body and two long plumose tentacles.
How do ctenophores move?
Ctenophores are characterized by 8 ciliated rows used for locomotion. These cilia are stacked to look like a comb or "ctene". Therefore their name means comb bearer. They beat these ciliated rows in the water to propel themselves. However, they are subject to tides and winds.

Some examples of ctenophores include the Venus's girdle (Cestum veneris), sea walnut (Mnemiopsis leidyi), and comb jellies such as Beroe and Pleurobrachia. Ctenophores are gelatinous marine animals commonly known as comb jellies, distinguished by their transparent bodies and rows of cilia for movement.
What are some examples of ctenophora?
Some examples of ctenophora, also known as comb jellies, include the Venus girdle, sea gooseberry, and lobate ctenophores. These gelatinous marine organisms are known for their bioluminescence and unique comb rows used for movement.
