    In ctenophores the two planes of symmetry are (1) the plane of the tentacles and (2) the plane of the pharynx. [1] In addition to this group, evidence for biradial symmetry has even been found in the 'perfectly radial' freshwater polyp Hydra (a cnidarian). Biradial symmetry, especially when considering both internal and external features, is ...
