The bell of the jelly blubber is spherical in shape, and its feeding structures make up a greater proportion of its body than in many other species of jellyfish. [5] Because of their unique body shape, C. mosaicus are known to utilize jet propulsion, triggered by the contracting and relaxing patterns of their bell.
The middle layer is called the mesoglea; a jelly-like substance that is flexible and dense. The outermost layer is the epidermis ; it contains the nerve net. [ 4 ] There is a network of branching canals linked with the primary ring canal, but these are not joined to the gastrovascular cavity except through the sixteen or thirty two radial canals .

Polyorchis, or bell jellies, is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Corynidae. They are transparent with red coloration in their internal organs and eye spots around the rim of their bell. The red pigmentation helps them camouflage. They are often found in harbors, marinas, and other calm waters close to shore.
The medusa phase of Cassiopea xamachana can grow to a diameter of about 25 cm (10 in). Compared to most species of jellyfish it is upside-down, that is to say the bell, which is saucer-shaped, is underneath and acts like a suction cup to stabilise the jellyfish on the seabed.
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).

The structures typically occur in multiples of four, are bell shaped and face outward from invaginations around the bell of the jelly's mantle. [1] They are each connected ectodermally to the periphery of other rhopalia by a stalk-like projections which join extremities in a skirt-like shape.
