No. A coelenterate is an animal (such as a jellyfish), whose main body cavity is also its alimentary canal (gut). Most animals, on the other hand, have a body cavity (called a coelom) that is separate from the gut.

For instance, inside your own body, you have an alimentary canal (your esophagus, stomach and intestines) and a separate body cavity that contains your heart, lungs, liver, etc. In a coelenterate, there is only one cavity.
