Some examples of coelenterates include jellyfish, anemones and coral. Historically, scientists used the term “coelenterate,” which refers to the cavity-like bodies of the animals, to identify the phylum now called cnidaria. All coelenterates are aquatic, and while most are marine, a few lineages inhabit fresh water.

First, we would include here those beings that do not have a nervous system, such as Porifera (the phylum that includes sponges), and those who do have a nervous system which is not centralized, such as echinoderms and cnidarians. Non-sentient animals would then include sponges, corals, anemones, and hydras.

Cnidarians are carnivores, and some can also consume plant matter. They catch their food using their nematocysts or through filter feeding. Cnidarians digest their food using a primitive digestive system that contains no organs--they have a mouth (which also serves as the anus) and a gastrovascular cavity.

Jellyfish are a type of zooplankton that both drift in the ocean and have some swimming ability. Hundreds of jellyfish species live in every part of the ocean and belong to the same animal group as corals and sea anemones. ... The planktonic medusae release larvae that grow to become bottom-living, plant-shaped polyps.

Corals are animals With their hardened surfaces, corals are sometimes mistaken as being rocks. And, because they are attached, “taking root” to the seafloor, they are often mistaken for plants. However, unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food.

Nematodes are the most numerous metazoan (many-celled) animals on earth. Many of them are parasites of insects, plants or animals including humans. Free-living species are abundant in aquatic environment, both fresh and salt water, and soil habitats.

However, unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food. Corals are in fact animals. The branch or mound that we often call “a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps.
