Topic: Coelenterata


  
  The FASEB Journal -- About the Cover (December 2006, 20, (14))
Coelenterata, meaning "hollow guts" are essentially a sac with a digestive tract.
Numerous tentacles trap their prey and sweep it into the open stoma at the center of the body.
Although Coelenterata differ widely in habitat and morphology, they dispose of their victims in similar fashion.

 Coelenterata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Cnidaria [ni-dare-ee-ah] and Coelenterata [so-lent-er-ahh-tah] are just different names for the same phylum.
"Cnidaria" refers to the cnidae (threads) found in the stinging cells common to all members of the phylum, while "Coelenterata" refers the coelenteron (internal gut) common to all known members of the phylum.
Coelenterata was the original name for the phylum, and has been replaced by Cnidaria, to reflect a more restrictive grouping of these organisms, to exclude genetically unrelated organisms that may have coelenterons but not cnidae.

 Hydras
You will not find many Coelenterata in fresh water.
Only a few genera, all belonging to the Class Hydrozoa, occur in freshwater, due to the fact that the phylum of the Coelenterata evolved in the sea and not many species succeeded in conquering fresh water.
Hydras managed to overcome this barrier and are found almost everywhere in clean water where they can attach themselves to a substrate (plants, stones).
