PHYLUM
Cnidaria and Porifera

Group 1
Cnidaria
A phylum of the kingdom Animalia that includes more
than 11,000 species of aquatic creatures, the majority of
which are marine in origin.
Cnidocytes, specialized cells that they primarily
employ for prey capture, are what makes them
distinctive. Mesoglea, a non-living jelly-like
substance, is sandwiched between two layers of
epithelium, each of which is typically one cell thick.

Animalia - It is the most extensive
Kingdom among the others and is
characterized as Heterotroph which
means they live by means of eating other
organisms.
Cnidaria - composed of thousands of
Species that can be found in
freshwater and marine
environments.
Anthozoa - marine invertebrates

which include sea anemones, stony
corals, and soft corals
Actiniaria - (Subclass Hexacorallia)

Sea anemones are brightly colored
They are usually about 2.5–10 cm
across, but a few grow up to 1.8 m

Stichodactylidae - sea anemones
exclusively reside within the shallow
waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific area
and are in the main family of sea
anemones that hosts several varieties of
clownfishes

Sea anemones are brightly colored

Actiniidae - Actiniidae is the largest
family of sea anemones, to which most
common, temperate, shore species
belong. Most members of this family do
not participate in symbioses with fish.
Anthopleura - Anthopleura is Greek;

anthōs, flowers, and pleura, ribs.a giant
millipede that lived during the
Carboniferous.
Anthopleura xanthogrammica -(giant

green anemone) These anemones tend
to live a solitary life, but can be
occasionally seen as groups with no
more than 14 individuals per square
meter. They can move slowly using
their basal disks but usually stay sessile.

Pennatulacea -Sea pens are actually

colonies of polyps, as are all octocorals.
Polyp dimorphism is what sets sea pens
apart. One polyp becomes very big, loses
its tentacles, and forms the central axis of
the structure
Renillidae - a family of colonial
alcyonaria (order Pennatulacea) having
a circular or reniform rachis with the
polyps dorsal.
Renilla - a genus of sea pen. It is the

only genus within the monotypic
family Renillidae.
Renilla reniformis - is a collection of

polyps with different forms and
functions. is a collection of polyps
with various shapes and functions.
To deflate the colony, a group of
tentacle polyps creates an outlet
valve and releases water.

environments.

Zoantharia - Sand and other substrate

are incorporated into Zoanthid colonies
for structure, in contrast to stony and
soft corals. They can exist either as
solitary polyps or in colonies.
Sphenopidae - A family composed of
Palythoa Lamouroux and Sphenopus
Steenstrup genus.
Palythoa -The individual polyps have

flattened oral discs surrounded by a
fringe of tentacles. The tentacles' shape
and size can vary considerably between
species, and even between colonies of
the same species.
Palythoa Mutuki - A common

zoanthid species called Palythoa
mutuki can also be found off the west
coast of South America. It is often
found in the Indo-Pacific. It can be
found in both marine and intertidal
zones and occurs at depths ranging
from 0 to 28 meters.

Hydrozoa -few genera within this class

live in freshwater habitats. Hydrozoans
are related to jellyfish and corals and
belong to the phylum Cnidaria.
Leptothecata - Leptothecata obtains radial

symmetry, in which their gonads can be
found in their radial canals. Their
morphological characters normally have
ranged from benthic to planktonic stages.
Aequoreidae - sometimes called the
many-ribbed jellies or many-ribbed
jellyfish. There are approximately 30
known species found in temperate and
tropical marine coastal environments.
Aequorea - genus of pelagic

hydrozoans in the family
Aequoreidae which is comprised of
various species
Aequorea victoria - also sometimes
called the crystal jelly, The species is
best known as the source of
aequorin (a photoprotein), and green
fluorescent protein (GFP); two
proteins involved in
bioluminescence

Porifera
5000 species of sponges known to exist in the globe,
making them a diverse group of occasionally common
forms. Though most species of sponges are marine,
there are 150 that dwell in freshwater. Sponges have
cellular-level organization, which means that their
cells are specialized so that distinct cells carry out
different jobs. However, comparable cells are not
organized into tissues, and their bodies are a loose
collection of many cell types.
