Ctenophore

Ctenophores are jellyfish-like animals of the Phylum: Ctenophora, commonly
called "comb jellies", "sea gooseberries", "sea walnuts", or "Venus's
girdles." Comb jellies are voracious marine predators on plankton. The word
ctenophore (pronounced teen-oh-for) comes from Greek meaning "comb-bearers".

Ctenophores are vaguely similar in appearance to jellyfish, have eight "comb
rows" of fused cilia that are arranged laterally along the sides of the
animal and used primarily for locomotion. Many ctenophores have two long
tentacles, but some lack tentacles completely. There are about 100 modern
species of these marine animals. Due to their soft and fragile bodies, the
fossil record for comb jellies is poor. A possible Ctenophore is known from
the Middle Cambrian.
