Ctenophora, commonly known as comb jellies, are a phylum of marine invertebrates characterized by their gelatinous bodies and unique locomotion through rows of ciliary plates called ctenes. They are predominantly found in oceanic environments and exhibit a variety of shapes and colors. Ctenophores are primarily carnivorous, feeding on small planktonic organisms, and possess specialized cells called colloblasts for capturing prey. Their simple body structure and transparent appearance make them fascinating subjects of study in marine Biology.

The term coelenterates is now out of date and has been replaced with two terms Cnidaria and Ctenophora. Animals covered by these terms are jellyfish sponges and coral like animals. So the water is where your most likely to find most of them.
How does type of symmetry relate to characteristics of each animal pylum?
Body symmetry is an adaptation to the habit of the animal. For example:Radial symmetry is advantageous in sessile or sedentary and more or less passively drifting animals (Phyla Cnideria and Ctenophora), because it enables them to develop appendages all around the mouth for capturing prey or gathering food from all sides. Their sensory and nervous coordination is also concentrated around mouth.Majority of animal phyla exhibit Bilateral symmetry.This type of symmetry is said to have evolved in those ancestral forms which started moving on ocean floor. A crawling animal is expected to encounter food with the advancing end. So mouth developed at the anterior end. The sensory organs and coordinating brain also developed near mouth at the front end, enabling the animals to sense or recognize edible or non-edible organisms.
What are the 14 phyla in kingdom Animalia?
The Major phylums in the animal kingdom are as follows.INVERTEBRATESPhylum: PoriferaPhylum: Coelenterata/ CnidariaPhylum: PlatyhelminthesPhylum: Nematehelminthes/ AschelminthesePhylum: AnnelidaPhylum: ArthropodaPhylum: MolluscaPhylum: Echinodermata.The phylum protozoa is now not treated as animal phylum and it is included under a separate kingdom called PROTISTA.There are animals which are intermediate between invertebrates and vertebrates and are called protochordates.PROTOCHORDATESPhylum: Hemichordataphylum: VERTEBRATA, under this phylum there are six classesclass: Piscesclass: Amphibiansclass: Reptiliaclass: Avesclass: MammaliaAll the above are mojor phylums, along with these phylums, there are many minor phylums.
