Ctenophora

Phylum of gelatinous marine animals

Ctenophora

Ctenophora (from Ancient Greek κτείς (kteis) 'comb' and φέρω (pherō) 'to carry') or ctenophores, commonly known as comb jellies, is a basal phylum of marine invertebrate animals notable for their unique aquatic locomotion using groups of cilia (commonly referred to as "combs"). They inhabit marine habitats worldwide, with 186 recognised living species. Ctenophores are the largest animals to swim with cilia, with adult ctenophores range from a few millimeters to 1.5 m (5 ft) in size depending on the species.
