picture info	Pelagia (genus) ''Pelagia noctiluca'' is a jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae and the only currently recognized species in the genus ''Pelagia''. It is typically known in English as the mauve stinger, but other common names are purple-striped jelly (causing potential confusion with ''Chrysaora colorata''), purple stinger, purple people eater, purple jellyfish, luminous jellyfish and night-light jellyfish. In Greek, ''pelagia'' means "(she) of the sea", from ''pelagos'' "sea, open sea"; in Latin ''noctiluca'' is the combining form of ''nox'', "night"", and ''lux'', "light"; thus, ''Pelagia noctiluca'' can be described as a marine organism with the ability to glow in the dark (bioluminescence). It is found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas, although it is suspected that records outside the North Atlantic region, which includes the Mediterranean and Gulf of Mexico, represent closely related but currently unrecognized species. A fairly small and variably coloured species, both its tenta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Chrysaora ''Chrysaora'' () is a genus of jellyfish, commonly called the sea nettles, in the family Pelagiidae. The origin of the genus name ''Chrysaora'' lies in Greek mythology with Chrysaor, brother of Pegasus and son of Poseidon and Medusa. Translated, ''Chrysaor'' means "he who has a golden armament." Species There are 16 recognized species in the genus ''Chrysaora'': * '' Chrysaora achlyos'' – black sea nettle * '' Chrysaora africana'' * ''Chrysaora agulhensis'' * ''Chrysaora chesapeakei'' - Atlantic bay nettle * '' Chrysaora chinensis'' * ''Chrysaora colorata'' – purple-striped jelly * ''Chrysaora fulgida'' * ''Chrysaora fuscescens'' – Pacific sea nettle * ''Chrysaora helvola'' * ''Chrysaora hysoscella'' – compass jellyfish * ''Chrysaora lactea'' * ''Chrysaora melanaster'' – northern sea nettle * ''Chrysaora pacifica'' – Japanese sea nettle * ''Chrysaora pentastoma'' * ''Chrysaora plocamia'' – South American sea nettle * ''Chrysaora quinquecirrha T ...

	Mawia ''Mawia'' is a genus of jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae. It is a monotypic genus with the sole species ''Mawia benovici''. The team who discovered this jellyfish named it ''benovici'' after a late colleague, Adam Benovic. Although described based on specimens from the Adriatic Sea, a part of the Mediterranean, it was speculated that these might be transplants (via ballast water) rather than a part of its natural range.

picture info	Jellyfish Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are anchored to the seabed by stalks rather than being mobile. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient animal locomotion, locomotion. The tentacles are armed with Cnidocyte, stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex Biological life cycle, life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, which produces planula larvae that disperse widely and enter a sedentary polyp (zoology), polyp phase before reaching sexual maturity. Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine habitats, marine, but some hydrozoans with a simila ...

picture info	Cnidarian Families Cnidaria () is a phylum under kingdom Animalia containing over 11,000 species of aquatic animals found both in freshwater and marine environments, predominantly the latter. Their distinguishing feature is cnidocytes, specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey. Their bodies consist of mesoglea, a non-living jelly-like substance, sandwiched between two layers of epithelium that are mostly one cell thick. Cnidarians mostly have two basic body forms: swimming medusae and sessile polyps, both of which are radially symmetrical with mouths surrounded by tentacles that bear cnidocytes. Both forms have a single orifice and body cavity that are used for digestion and respiration. Many cnidarian species produce colonies that are single organisms composed of medusa-like or polyp-like zooids, or both (hence they are trimorphic). Cnidarians' activities are coordinated by a decentralized nerve net and simple receptors. Several free-swimming species of Cubozoa and Scyphozo ...
