Excerpt: The Ctenophora (; singular ctenophore, or; from the Greek khtena 'comb' and pher 'carry'; commonly known as comb jellies) are a phylum of animals that live in marine waters worldwide. Their most distinctive feature is the "combs," groups of cilia that they use for swimming, and they are the largest animals that swim by means of cilia - adults of various species range from a few millimeters to 1.5 meters (59 in) in size. Like cnidarians, their bodies consist of a mass of jelly with one layer of cells on the outside and another lining the internal cavity. In ctenophores these layers are two cells deep while those in cnidarians are only one cell deep. Ctenophores also resemble cnidarians in having a decentralized ner...
