Q

Are cnidarians herbivores or carnivores?

A

Carnivores in which they use their tentacles to capture prey

Q

What are examples of anthozoans?

A
  • sea anemones
  • star corals
33
Q

What is special about most hydrozoans?

A

Can alternate b/w polyp and medusa forms

34
Q

What is significant about hydra?

A

A freshwater cnidarian that exists only in polyp form and reproduces asexually via budding

35
Q

What is the predominate life cycle stage of the scyphozoans and cubozoans?

A
  • Medusa
36
Q

What are 2 significant things of cubozoans?

  • They contain highly toxic cnidocytes
37
Q

What does anthozoans only occur as?

A

As polyps

38
Q

What does corals secrete?

40
Q

What is the triploblastic development?

A
