Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Cnidaria The phylum Cnidaria includes organisms with a variety of radially symmetrical forms; all are carnivores. The life cycle of some cnidarians includes both a medusa (jellyfish) stage and a polyp (attached) stage. Medusae are usually free-floating, and often produce gametes. Polyps are fleshy columns with an attachment at one end and a mouth and tentacles at the other end.
Cnidarians exhibit two basic structural forms, a medusa and a polyp. The medusa form is a free-swimming structure which consists of an umbrella-shaped body (called a bell), a fringe of tentacles that hang from the edge of the bell, a mouth opening located on the underside of the bell, and a gastrovascular cavity.nidarians are radially symmetrical and they have tentacles that encircle their mouth. The body wall of cnidarians consists of an outer layer or epidermis, an inner layer or gastrodermis, and a middle layer or mesoglea. Cnidarians lack organs and posses a primitive nervous system known as a neural net.
