The Cnidaria are a phylum of invertebrates that include the jellyfish, hydra, anemones, and corals. Corals have a free-swimming immature larval form, but then the individual coral animals settle on a substrate and produce a calcium carbonate (limestone) "housing" (residence) surrounding their bodies.
