- Jellyfish belong to the Phylum Cnidaria. They are invertebrates and are made up of 95% water. Jellyfish do not swim, but drift with the tides. For that reason, some people consider them to be plankton. They have no heart or brains. Jellyfish have specialized stinging cells, called cniodocytes. Each of these cells contains a nematocyst which acts like a mini-harpoon. When a jellyfish touches something the nematocyst is released and injects toxin into the prey.

Inside the Eye: Natureâs Most Exquisite Creation If this eye detects dark patches, the jellyfish senses that it’s swimming beneath the mangrove canopy, where it can find the small crustaceans that it eats. If it sees only bright light, it has strayed into open water, and risks starving. With the help of its eyes, this brainless blob can find food, avoid obstacles, and survive.

Here's All About the Habitat of Starfish Some starfish species are found at the deep sea floor, where the amount of light that penetrates the water is very low. As they inhabit the sea floor, these species are grouped as benthos, i.e., organisms which live on, in, or near the seabed―also known as the benthic zone.

Jellyfish Jellyfish and their relatives such as the Portuguese man-of-war are mobile, either actively swimming or pushed by winds and currents. Both stationary and mobile members of this group have radial symmetry with body parts radiating from a central axis. This allows jellyfish to detect and respond to food or danger from any direction. Jellyfish have an outer layer which covers the external body surface, and an inner layer which lines the gut.

- On the tentacles of jellyfish are cells called Cnidocytes. These Cnidocytes contain Nematocysts and when an object comes into contact with the Cnidocytes the filaments of hundreds or even thousands of the Nematocysts are then injected into the predator.he answer is not as complicated as some people may think and yet the method is very effective, even fatal to the predator at times. All jellyfish have tentacles which they use to not only navigate and sometimes swim depending on the species but to also protect themselves from harm.

- Cannonball Jelly / Cabbage Head Jellyfish (Stomolophus meleagris): This species of jellyfish is commonly found trapped in fishing nets across the world, clogging them and causing damage. This jellyfish is one of the species that do not have the characteristic tentacles that are common to many species of jellyfish.Instead the cannonball jellyfish has a thick finger like protrusions, which are its oral arms.ellyfish inhabit all levels of the water, right from the surface to the very depths of the marine world. As we discover newer regions in the water world, we find newer species of jellyfish that inhabits that region. Here are some of the most common jellyfish from around the world.
