The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word "cnidos," which means stinging nettle. Casually touching many cnidarians will make it clear how they got their name when their nematocysts eject barbed threads tipped with poison. Their stun attack makes it near impossible to defeat one with a melee weapon, as you are effectively stuck in their attack while they either chip away at your health or drown you. On mobile, Doedicurus does not get stunned by their attacks.
Still take damage though. Use their low speed to your advantage, and make sure to swim away before they get too close. Alternatively, you can use a Basilosaurus to kill them without any risk, because the Basilosaurus is immune to stuns. Neither you nor your mount will be stunned or damaged, and you will not be forced off your mount.
In the underwater caves, they are considered the safest option for clearing out predators because Cnidaria in caves are significantly stronger than ones in the open ocean.
Using a Crossbow from a raft or mount will work. If you don't have either of those, or don't want to use them, you can lure them to the shore and safely attack them from land. Tusoteuthis can make for an effective hunter of Cnidaria due to its resistance to dismounts and large attack range.

The aquatic Phylum Cnidaria includes coral, hydra, jellyfish, and anemones. Sea anemones. Cnidaria , Wikipedia Animal Diversity Web. The unfired nematocyst is inverted into itself, much like a sock bunched up and turned inside out.
When the nematocyst senses food either through touch or chemoreception, it fires outward, injecting venom through its tube into the prey Fig.
Each nematocyst can fire only once, but new cnidocytes grow to replace used ones. The structure of cnidocytes is specific to different species of cnidarians.
All cnidarians are carnivorous predators. Jellyfish capture small drifting animals with their stinging cnidocyte-filled tentacles. Even the sessile coral polyps and sea anemones are predators ready to sting prey, grasp it in their tentacles, and push it into their mouth. The potency of the stinging venom varies among species. Some cnidarian venoms have little effect on humans. Others are extremely toxic. The venom of the Portuguese man-of-war Physalia physalis is potent enough to inflict a painful sting, even after it is washed up on the beach.
Unlike sponges, which have skeletal structures made of spongin or spicules, sea anemones and jellyfish have no skeletal structure to support their soft tissues. For support, they fill the gastrovascular cavity with water and close the mouth tight, putting the water under pressure as in a balloon filled with water.
The water pressure supports the soft tissues. This feature is called a hydrostatic skeleton Fig. If the sea anemone opens its mouth or contracts its body wall hard, the water flows out and the body collapses. It takes several minutes to pump water back into the cavity. Coral polyps also have a hydrostatic skeleton, but they are frequently sitting in a hard skeleton made of the mineral limestone calcium carbonate or CaCO 3.
Coral reefs are the aggregated limestone skeletons of many coral polyps. Cnidarians lack organs. This means that they do not have respiratory or circulatory systems. Like the cells in sponges, the cells in cnidarians get oxygen directly from the water surrounding them.
Nutrients from digested food pass through the liquid between the cells to nourish all parts of the body, and wastes pass out by the same route. Cnidarians have a very simple nervous system consisting of cells with long, thin fibers that respond to mechanical or chemical stimuli. The fibers connect, forming a network called a nerve net Fig. The nerves send impulses to muscle cells , which respond by contracting.
Despite its lack of complexity, the nerve net does allow cnidarians to respond to their environment. Cnidarians do have a more sophisticated sensory biology than sponges. The ability to respond to a stimulus of touch or pressure is called mechanoreception.
When something touches the surface of the sea anemone, the nerve cells send impulses to the muscle cells in the body wall, the muscle cells contract, and the anemone moves.
Chemoreception is the ability to respond to chemical stimuli. Chemoreception includes taste and smell, two ways to detect chemicals. Chemoreception is crucial to finding and testing foods, detecting harmful substances, and, in some organisms, selecting and attracting mates and finding suitable places to live.
Cnidarians rely on chemoreception for these things, too. The ability to respond to changes in light intensity is called photoreception. Most cnidarians have the ability to sense changes in light and dark. Box jellies have eyes that are able to form images, making them the most derived cnidarians in terms of sensory biology.
