Taxonomy. 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. [3]
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of jellyfish stings include: Burning, prickling, stinging pain. Welts or tracks on the skin — a "print" of the tentacles' contact with the skin. Itchiness ...
Aurelia labiata. Aurelia labiata is a species of moon jellyfish. It is a cnidarian in the family Ulmaridae. [1] It is typically larger than Aurelia aurita,[2] with individuals document up to 45 cm (18 in). [3] However, much of its size range overlaps with A. aurita (up to 40 cm (16 in)), making size an imperfect diagnostic tool.
