Coelentrerata, also known as Cnidaria, is a fascinating group of marine creatures that inhabit the depths of our oceans. From the enchanting deep-sea jellyfish to the venomous Portuguese man o war, these organisms showcase the diversity and beauty found beneath the waves. In Trondheimsfjord, Norway, a juvenile deep-sea jellyfish called Periphylla periphylla gracefully glides through the dark waters. Its ethereal glow illuminates its surroundings, captivating all who encounter it. On Tenerife in the Canary Islands, we find another member - the Portuguese man o war (Physalia physalis). With its vibrant colors and long tentacles trailing behind it in search of prey, this creature commands both fear and awe. In Magnificent sea anemone (Heteractis magnifica), we witness a harmonious relationship between species. The Western clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) seeks refuge within its protective embrace while providing nutrients in return. A true example of symbiosis in nature's underwater realm. An aggregation of Golden jellyfish (Mastigias sp) dances gracefully amidst Gorgonian sea fans (Acalycigorgia sp) on a coral reef at Raja Ampat in West Papua, Indonesia. This mesmerizing display showcases nature's artistry and reminds us of the delicate balance within ecosystems. The Man-of-war fish (Nomeus gronovi) fearlessly resides among deadly tentacles of Portuguese man o war off Dominica in Caribbean Sea. It possesses remarkable resistance to their toxins – ten times more than any other fish – making it immune to their lethal effects. Close to Cornwall's surface lies a stunning sight - Compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) with sunburst patterns adorning its translucent body. Its graceful movements serve as a reminder that even in the shallows, wonders await those who seek them.
