[Cnidaria] work on a cnidarian garners a Nobel Prize

[Rob Steele]

For those of you who may not have heard, the 2008 Nobel Prize in 
Chemistry has been awarded for the discovery and development of green 
fluorescent protein.  As far as I know, this is the first Nobel Prize 
awarded for work on a cnidarian.
