Cnidarians are unique because they contain cnidocytes when no other organism does. Cnidocytes are cells inside the epidermis of the tentacles and these cells contain organelles called cnidea. There are different types of cnidea in cnidarians such as nematocysts which contain a stinging venom to paralyze prey and spirocysts which contain sticky threads to capture prey.
