The document summarizes the phylum Coelenterata, which includes multicellular, radially symmetrical animals with needle cells. It describes three classes: Hydrozoa which have polyp and medusa forms like Obelia; Scyphozoa which are solitary marine medusoid forms like the four-chambered stomach jellyfish Aurelia; and Anthozoa which are marine polyp forms that can be solitary or colonial with septa in their gastrovascular cavity, including corals and sea anemones.
