Comb Jellies (Ctenophora) is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the comb jellies of the phylum Ctenophora, which swim with rows of beating combs. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is a comb jelly. It excludes true jellyfish, which are cnidarians. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
