[edit] Metazoa to Eumetazoa

Metazoa can be ambiguous, being either a synonym for Animalia, or a daughter taxon to Animalia, sister to Parazoa (the sponges). Eumetazoa is an unambigous term for the animals other than the sponges (and a few obscure oddities). Eumetazoa is conventionally divided into Radiata and Bilateria. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 19:34, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nematostella vectensis as bilateral animal?

I know the sources cited state N. vectensis exhibits bilateral symmetry, but you sure can't tell that from the article at Starlet sea anemone. I think this is confusing for the reader. Does anyone know of a source that explains how this species exhibits bilateral symmetry? -- Donald Albury 18:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
