- I was under the opinion that ctenophores differed from cniderians because of the presence of a third layer; perhaps not a true mesoderm but not diploblastic in the same sense that cniderians are. Jellyfish lack true Hox genes! - The Panda's Thumb
- As indicated by its small beak-like mouth, the louvar feeds on small, soft-bodied creatures such as jellyfish and ctenophores.
