The Deepstaria enigmatica has a wide, thin bell (up to 60 cm or 2 ft), [1] transparent in appearance, which undulates as the jellyfish moves. They are usually found in Antarctic and near-Antarctic seas, but have been spotted in waters near the United Kingdom and Gulf of Mexico, at depths of 600–1,750 metres (1,970–5,740 ft).
Halitrephes maasi, commonly known as the firework jellyfish, is a species of deep-sea hydrozoan of the family Halicreatidae. Sightings have been reported at depths of 4,000 to 5,000 feet (1,200 to 1,500 m) near the Revillagigedo Archipelago off the Baja California Peninsula .
Ambient video is a new art form made possible by the increasing availability of large-scale, high-definition video display units. [1] Introduced in the late 1990s, the first flat wide-screen televisions were expensive, costing as much as $15,000 in 1997. [ 2 ]
Alatina alata is a transparent box jellyfish with an pyramidal with rounded tip umbrella, smooth exumbrella and thin and transparent mesoglea. The manubrium is short, square, with four simple lips, and without mesenteries joining manubrium walls to subumbrellar stomach walls.
Like other types of jellyfish, the T. dohrnii goes through a two-part life cycle, living on the sea floor during an asexual phase, where its chief role is to stay alive during times of food scarcity.
The stem group of Medusozoa also includes Auroralumina attenboroughii, the earliest known animal predator from the late Ediacaran. [8] Burgessomedusa from the mid- Cambrian Burgess Shale is the oldest known free-living medusa (commonly known as jellyfish).
Aurelia limbata is in the genus Aurelia, which is commonly called moon jellies. Aurelia is the most common and widely distributed species of jellyfish. [1] A. aurita is the closest relative to A. limbata, because they have a similar gene orientation [2] and the same life cycle.
