2. Phylum Porifera Basic sponge knowledge  Water movement and feeding Focus on the choanocyte  Protection in sponges Spicules Toxins Cryptic location Camouflage Regnerative ability

3. Haliclona sp. Nudibranch: Many are predators of sponges

4. Phylum Cnidaria Polyps and medusae  Basic parts of both body forms

5. Phylum Cnidaria Alternation of generations Note that anemones have no medusa form, but do have functional gonads within polyps Note that anemones have no medusa form, but do have functional gonads within polyps
