The cnidarians all have specialized cells called  cnidocysts, which act like tiny harpoons: when triggered, they fire off a long, needle-like extension that’s anchored to the cell. These are generally used to attack prey and inject poison, while often anchoring said prey to the cnidarian so that it can’t escape.

OMG It would be awesome if Coral had a throwing spear tipped with poison then XD
