Jellyfish

About the Jellyfish

Moon jellyfish, also known as Aurelia aurita, are gentle and fascinating sea creatures. They are called “moon jellyfish” because their bodies are almost transparent and shaped like a full moon. Moon jellyfish drift slowly through the ocean, moving gently with their umbrella-like bodies. They feed mainly on plankton and tiny organisms. Although they have tentacles, their sting is very weak and usually harmless to humans.
Here you can see the subgenus Aurelia malayensis.
