  2. Scyphozoa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scyphozoa

    The Scyphozoa are an exclusively marine class of the phylum Cnidaria, [2] referred to as the true jellyfish (or "true jellies"). The class name Scyphozoa comes from the Greek word skyphos (σκύφος), denoting a kind of drinking cup and alluding to the cup shape of the organism. [3] Scyphozoans have existed from the earliest Cambrian to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelia_(cnidarian)

    The similar appearances of moon jellyfish is what has made them so hard to identify. They tend to have a variety of different sizes, however, they typically range 5–38 cm (2.0–15.0 in) in diameter with an average of 18 cm (7.1 in) wide and 8 cm (3.1 in) in height. [12]

  4. Atolla jellyfish - Wikipedia

    Atolla wyvillei, also known as the Atolla jellyfish, Coronate medusa, and deep-sea jellyfish, is a species of deep-sea crown jellyfish (Scyphozoa: Coronatae). [2] It lives in oceans around the world. [3] Like many species of mid-water animals, it is deep red in color.

  5. Discomedusae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discomedusae

    Discomedusae is a subclass of jellyfish in the class Scyphozoa. It is the sister taxon of Coronamedusae. Discomedusae contains about 155 named species and there are likely to be many more as yet undescribed. Jellyfish in this subclass are much more likely to have swarming events or form blooms than those in Coronamedusae. [2]

  8. Aurelia aurita - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelia_aurita

    Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [ 3 ] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.

  9. Cyanea annaskala - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanea_annaskala

    The phylogeny of the Lion's mane jellyfish has long been debated since their discovery, and the Cyanea annaskala has long been implicated in this difficulty. The high proportion of cosmopolitan species in pelagic individuals makes it extremely tedious to differentiate between closely related members. [ 2 ]
