Halitrephes maasi, commonly known on the internet as the firework jellyfish, is a species of deep sea hydrozoan of the family Halicreatidae. The most recent account of the jelly has been found at a depth of 4,000–5,000 feet (1,200–1,500 m) near the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California Peninsula, Mexico.[1]
Although not much is known regarding this species, research proves that Halitrephes maasi can be found in diverse settings of waters. The hydrozoan has been spotted in both temperate and tropical waters, and has been found in the Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, Antarctic, Mediterranean,[2] and eastern Pacific.[3] This hydromedusae is typically bathypelagic. and eastern Pacific.[3] In these waters, this species is most commonly found in oxygen minimal zones and deep waters.[4]
All cnidarians are diploblastic acoelomate metazoans, with tissue constructions levels.[5] The majority of the organisms in the phylum project lengthy hollow piercing tubular-filaments that are used to inject toxins and poison into their prey. Cnidarians are basic animals both physically and biologically. There is only one opening that functions as the mouth and the anus in its digestive system.[5]

Halitrephes est un genre de Trachyméduses (hydrozoaires) de la famille des Halicreatidae.
Halitrephes maasi is een hydroïdpoliep uit de familie Halicreatidae. De poliep komt uit het geslacht Halitrephes. Halitrephes maasi werd in 1909 voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Bigelow. De soort kan onder andere gevonden worden op een diepte van ruim een kilometer nabij Baja California in Mexico.[1]

O Halitrephes maasi, comumente conhecido na internet como água-viva fogo de artifício, é uma espécie de hidrozoário de águas profundas da família Halicreatidae. O relato mais recente desta água-viva foi reportado a uma profundidade de 1200 a 1500 metros, perto do arquipélago Revillagigedo, na Península de Baja California, no México.[1]
Embora haja relativamente pouca informação disponível sobre esta espécie, pesquisas comprovam que Halitrephes maasi pode ser encontrado em diversos ambientes aquáticos. O hidrozoário foi localizado em águas temperadas e tropicais, e foi encontrado no Atlântico, Indo-Pacífico, Antártico, Mediterrâneo, e Pacífico oriental.[2] Esta hidromedusa é tipicamente batipelágica.
