Specific error:

n. 3: "Sea plume" is a bit generic, it could also be "Antillogorgia bipinnata" (bipinnata sea plume) which is part of the genus Antillogorgia. Obelia is only a genre, one cannot be so general in such specific questions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelia

n.6: European medicinal leech is the right common name for the species Hirudo medicinalis. In fact the name "Hirudinidae medicinalis" is wrong, it doesn't exist. Hirudinidae is a subclass of Clitellata.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leech
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirudo_medicinalis

n.7: Oligochaeta is a subclass, not a subphylum.
The subphylum "Oligochetae" does not exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligochaeta

n.10: The scientific name is Euplectella aspergillum.
It would be better to specify that Euplectella is the genus, and not its scientific name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus%27_flower_basket

n.11: Which "sponge"? What you have indicated are all classes of sponges, there is no right answer.
And then the explanation "Calcarea" exactly what does it mean?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge#Taxonomy

n.12:

Calcarea is a class, not a subphylum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycon

n.13:

Bivalvia is a class, not a subphylum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivalvia

n. 14:

Polyplacophora is a class, not a subphylum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiton

n. 15:

Cephalopoda is a class, not a subphylum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_(genus)

n. 19:

It is "Chelicerata", not "Chelicemata".

n. 22:

It is "Chironex fleckeri, not "Chinonex"

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chironex_fleckeri

n. 23: Not all jellyfish are poisonous, you have done well to specify it in the explanation, but it would be better to actually write it already in the question to which class you refer.

n.25: There is no subphylum "Oligochetae".
The order "Oligochaeta" exists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubifex_tubifex

n. 26:

Cestoda is a class, not a subphylum.

General comment:

- Licenses are missing from all images (name of the author, type of license and source from which it comes)

- I am a person who suffers from dyslexia and I would recommend taking a longer time, as although I knew many of them, I hurriedly answered in a hurry because I could not read the answers carefully.

- The quiz talks about "scientific names" but then there are also different questions inside (as the study of a certain animal is called, just to give an example).

Ah, among other things, some explanations were not well argued.
