Which are the types of symmetry seen in invertebrates?

Yes they are.

Symmetrical organization means when you can draw a line down the middle of the organism and the two sides look like mirror images. If you draw If you draw

a line down the middle of an octopus you would find two sides with equal parts.

Sponges and some coral are not symmetrical tho.

How do cnidarians survive?
