Each coral polyp uses stinging tentacles which they wave to capture passing zooplankton, including copepods and fish larvae.
Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones are examples of organisms found in oceans that use stinging cells called cnidocytes to capture their prey. These cnidocytes contain specialized structures called nematocysts that inject toxins into their prey.
Examples of cnidarians include jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and hydroids. Cnidarians are characterized by their radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes that they use to capture prey.
sharks capture their prey by smelling and also by scary them
Almost all coral are predatory, meaning that they capture prey from the water column; this prey is small zooplankton organisms. Some corals also contain a symbiotic algae, called zooxanthellae, that produces sugars and releases some of the sugar to the coral.
jellyfish and mosquitoes are two creatures that have nematocust a stinging cell used by animals hunting and stunning their prey
Corals capture microscopic particles from plankton floating or swimming past their tentacles. Their nematocysts (organs on their tentacles that can release a whiplike thread sometimes tipped with poisonous spikes) hold and kill their prey. Some corals obtain most of their food by eating zooxanthellae, a type of algae with which the coral have a symbiotic relationship.
Um ... horses eat grass. They don't capture prey. Maybe you are thinking of another animal.
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.
cnidaria
prey capture
no
actually nematocysts are stinging cells/ srtuctures of organisms of the Phylum Cnidaria such as corals, jellyfish, sea anemones to name a few. it's used to capture prey and repel predators. but species of this Phylum are mostly carnivorous.
