Jellyfish are cnidarians, a phylum which also includes corals and sea anemones. Jellyfish are a specific lifecycle stage of medusozoans (their own subphylum), while corals and sea anemones are anthozoans (another subphylum of Cnidaria).
So yup, they are polyps before sexual maturity. And you'll find they're more closely related to corals than they are to members of any other phylum.
Edit: I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get lost in the world of marine invertebrates check out WoRMS and then follow along in parallel on Wikipedia as you navigate the tree.
You just made up all those words.
Jellyfish are a subcagetorum of cthulonic phteven
You neved heard phylum before? You phylustine!
All words are made up.
Not all words are accepted by society
Hi, society here. I accept those words.
