Phacellophora
''Phacellophora camtschatica'', commonly known as the fried egg jellyfish or egg-yolk jellyfish, is a very large jellyfish in the family Phacellophoridae. This species can be easily identified by the yellow coloration in the center of its body which closely resembles an egg yolk, hence how it got its common name. Some individuals can have a bell close to 60 cm (2 ft) in diameter, and most individuals have 16 clusters of up to a few dozen tentacles, each up to 6 m (20 ft) long. A smaller jellyfish, '' Cotylorhiza tuberculata'', typically found in warmer water, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, is also popularly called a fried egg jellyfish. Also, ''P. camtschatica'' is sometimes confused with the Lion's mane jellyfish (''Cyanea capillata''). It feeds primarily by collecting medusae and plankton with its tentacles, and bringing them into its mouth for digestion. It is capable of only limited motion, and mostly drifts with the current, even when swimming. Thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tiburonia
''Tiburonia'' is a genus of jellyfish in the family Ulmaridae. It was reported in 2003, following the discovery of its only species yet identified, ''Tiburonia granrojo''. It was discovered by a crew from MBARI led by George Matsumoto. Pieces of the medusae (bell margin and arms) were collected for morphological analysis, which eventually led to sequencing and taxonomic identification. The discovery of this organism led to not only a new species, but a new subfamily of Ulmaridae, called Tiburoniinae. Its genus was named ''Tiburonia'' after the ROV the crew were using, called ''Tiburon'', meaning "shark" in Spanish. Because of this ROVs distinct maneuverability, all angles of the organisms were able to be observed, which is particularly important to the study of gelatinous pelagic invertebrates. Its species name was originally to be called "big ugly", but Kirsten Matsumoto, George Matsumoto's Wife, raised objections to this name, and renamed it ''granrojo'', meaning "big red" in S ...

Semaeostomeae
Semaeostomeae (literally "flag mouths") is an order of large jellyfish characterized by four long, frilly oral arms flanking their quadrate mouths. The umbrella is domed with scalloped margins, and the gastrovascular system consists of four unbranched pouches radiating outwards from the central stomach; no ring canal is present. They usually possess eight tentacles; four are per-radical and four are inter-radical. Taxonomy The order consists of five families. * Family Cyaneidae * Family DrymonematidaeBayha, K. M., and M. N.

Stygiomedusa
''Stygiomedusa gigantea'', commonly known as the giant phantom jelly is a part of the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, ''Stygiomedusa''. This is in the Ulmaridae family. With only around 110 sightings in 110 years, it is a jellyfish that is rarely seen, but believed to be widespread throughout the world, with the exception of the Arctic Ocean. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's remotely operated underwater vehicles have only sighted the jelly 27 times in 27 years. A study conducted by the Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, focusing on four ''Stygiomedusa gigantea'' present in the Gulf of Mexico, revealed information regarding the wider distribution of this species. ''S. gigantea'' is thought to be one of the largest invertebrate predators in the ecosystem. It is commonly found in the ocean's midnight zone, reaching depths as deep as .

Poralia
''Poralia'' is a genus of jellyfish in the family Ulmaridae. It is a monotypic genus containing a single species, ''Poralia rufescens''. This jellyfish is pelagic, and is found in deep water in most of the world's oceans. In 2021, a NOAA expedition discovered a possible additional ''Poralia'' species in the Atlantic Ocean. Description ''Poralia rufescens'' has a bell about in diameter. It has 30 marginal tentacles interspersed with 15 rhopalia (sensory organs). The lappets (flaps) are rectangular in outline and are all the same length, the rhopalial lappets having deep clefts and the tentacular lappets shallow clefts. This jellyfish is very fragile and most specimens examined have been damaged. Distribution The distribution of this mesobathypelagic species is not well delineated. Before 1962, only eleven damaged specimens from the North Atlantic had been examined, mostly brought up from waters deeper than .
