The medusa body plan (Fig 2) is the form commonly called a "jellyfish". The mesoglea is considerably thicker than that of the polyps and imparts the jelly-like consistency to the animal. Medusae swim by undulations of their bell. ... Members of the class Anthozoa include most corals and the sea anemones.

and it has been argued that the anthozoan body plan most resembles that of the ancestral cnidarians (Grass hoff, 1984; Schick, 1991;Bridge et a!., 1992; ...

Within the phylum they are further sub-classified on the basis of body plan. Anemones are typically polyp-like (polypoid) cylinders, sessile, with their oral cavities upright. Other forms are generally medusa-like, free-swimming discs, mouth down. ... Within the Cnidaria, Anemones are placed in the Class Anthozoa;

Radial symmetry refers to the fact that any plane passing through the oral-aboral axis divides the animal into two equal halves, each a mirror image of the other. The basic body plan of the cnidarians is a sac-like structure, ... The class Anthozoa is a large class whose representatives include the sea anemone and sea coral.

The relationship between egg polarity and the adult body plan is well understood in many bilaterians. However, the evolutionary origins of embryonic polarity are not known. Insight into the evolution of polarity will come ... We examined how the axial properties of the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa,

This coordination seems to be essential to define the correct polyp body plan with tentacles and buds evaginating at the appropriate positions along the oral-aboral body axis. In the future, we aim at a more detailed analysis of the molecular interaction between canonical and non-canonical Wnt signalling in cnidarians.
