    Hey all, I had a test question today that asked what all cnidarians have in common. One of the answers was that all cnidarians have stinging cells. Now i know this is true about most of them, however i was under the impression that some did not (specifically Acroporidae)?

    Am I correct or incorrect?

    Cheers for zoology! :)

    Yes, all members of the phyla have stinging cells. It is a shared characteristic among all members.
