"I use eight rows of tiny hair-like 'combs' to move, making me the largest animal to swim using cilia."

Think you know the Comb Jelly?

Transparent predators that move using rows of tiny hairs (cilia) that refract light like rainbows.

Most comb jellies (ctenophores) do not sting; they use sticky cells called colloblasts to catch prey.
