Comb jellies, or ctenophores, protect themselves from predators primarily through their bioluminescence and the release of sticky cells called colloblasts. When threatened, some species can emit light to startle predators or confuse them. Additionally, their colloblasts help capture prey and can deter predators by adhering to them. Their gelatinous bodies also make them less appealing to some attackers, as they can be difficult to grasp.
