Tinerfe (ctenophore)
''Tinerfe'' is a genus of ctenophores belonging to the family Cydippidae Cydippidae is a Family (biology), family of Ctenophora, ctenophores, in the Cydippida. Five Genus, genera are recognized: * ''Attenboroughctena'' Ceccolini & Cianferoni, 2020 * ''Hormiphora'' L. Agassiz, 1860 * ''Minictena'' C. Carré & D. Carr .... There is one species recognized in this genus, ''Tinerfe cyanea''. Two others were previously placed in the genus and moved to other genera: '' Haeckelia beehleri'' and '' Lampea lactea''. Another species, ''T. coerulea'', was synonimized to ''T. cyanea''. References Cydippidae {{Ctenophore-stub ...

Ctenophores
Ctenophora (; : ctenophore ) is a phylum of marine invertebrates, commonly known as comb jellies, that marine habitats, 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. 186 living species are recognised. 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 Cydippida, cydippids with a pair of retractable tentacles that capture prey, the flat, generally combless Platyctenida, platyctenids, and the large-mouthed Beroidae, beroids, which prey on other ctenophores. Almost all ctenophores function as predators, taking prey ranging from microscopic larvae and rotifers to the adults of small crustaceans; the excepti ...

Haeckelia Beehleri
''Haeckelia'' is a genus of ctenophores belonging to the family Cydippida. The species of this genus are found in Europe and Northern America. Members of the genus ''Haeckelia'', which feed mainly on jellyfish, incorporate their victims' stinging cnidocyte A cnidocyte (also known as a cnidoblast) is a type of cell containing a large secretory organelle called a ''cnidocyst'', that can deliver a sting to other organisms as a way to capture prey and defend against predators. A cnidocyte explosively ...s into their own tentacles. The following species are recognized in this genus: References Tentaculata Ctenophore genera Taxa described in 1863 {{ctenophore-stub ...
