Ctenophore
Ctenophora (; ctenophore ; ) comprise a phylum of marine invertebrates, commonly known as comb jellies, that inhabit sea waters worldwide. They are notable for the groups of cilia they use for swimming (commonly referred to as "combs"), and they are the largest animals to swim with the help of cilia. Depending on the species, adult ctenophores range from a few millimeters to in size. Only 100 to 150 species have been validated, and possibly another 25 have not been fully described and named. The textbook examples are cydippids with egg-shaped bodies and a pair of retractable tentacles fringed with tentilla ("little tentacles") that are covered with colloblasts, sticky cells that capture prey. Their bodies consist of a mass of jelly, with a layer two cells thick on the outside, and another lining the internal cavity. The phylum has a wide range of body forms, including the egg-shaped cydippids with retractable tentacles that capture prey, the flat generally combless platyct ...

Callianira Antarctica
''Callianira antarctica'' is a species of ctenophore that physically resembles ''Mertensia ovum,'' but lacks the oil sacs. Just like other ctenophores, over 95% of its body mass and composition is water. Physical description ''Callianira antarctica'' studied in 2002 ranged in size from 35mm to 83.6mm in Autumn months, and from 8.5mm to 98mm in Winter months. Their weight ranged from 150 mg to 758 mg in Autumn, and in Winter they ranged from 2.8 mg to 1366 mg. Distribution ''Callianira antarctica'' has been found in the waters of Southern Chile and Argentina, specifically the Strait of Magellan and Beagle Channel. It has also been studied and observed in Antarctic waters in the Croker Passage and Marguerite Bay. It resides in water depths ranging from 30m to 400m, but through sampling it was seen that the highest abundance of ctenophores was found to be between 120-150m during the day, and about 250m at night.
