The 23 pages that link to Cnidocyte, each with the reason it gives.

• CoralRelated: Coral polyps use cnidocytes to catch small prey and deter threats.

• StingRelated: Jellyfish stings arise from discharged cnidocytes rather than a single rigid organ.

• HydrozoaRelated: These cells give hydrozoans their characteristic prey-capture and defense system.

• Medusa (biology)Related: Medusa tentacles use these cells to capture prey and deter threats.

• AnthozoaRelated: These cells equip anthozoan tentacles to capture prey and defend against predators.

• Box jellyfishRelated: This shared cnidarian cell type underlies the group’s defining sting.
