Phylum Cnidaria Part 2: Class Hydrozoa
As we now know, there are five major classes within phylum Cnidaria, and we will go through them one at a time. First up is class Hydrozoa. This contains a variety of small predatory polyps, such as hydras. These are fascinating...

Phylum Cnidaria Part 5: Class Anthozoa
Of the five major classes of phylum Cnidaria, we have just one more to cover, and that's Anthozoa. These are "flower animals", or polyps that lack a medusa stage, such as anemones, corals, sea pens, and more. Let's take a look at these...
