Jellyfishes of the genus Cassiopea at the jellyfish room of the Pairi Daiza zoo, Belgium. Please, which species of Cassiopea is it? Common in aquariums are C. andromeda and C. xamachana, that I'm unable to distinguish, and I suppose that maybe more species can be kept in public aquaria

A large species known as the Fried Egg Jellyfish or as the Egg Yoke Jelly. Mainly found in the open oceans, this one was caught snooping about the south end of Haida Gwaii Islands, British Columbia. It actually eats other jellyfish, and is sufficiently odd to have been given its own Family, the Phacellophoridae.

lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans, seldom found farther south than 42N latitude. Similar jellyfish, which may be the same species, are known to inhabit seas near Australia and New Zealand. The largest recorded specimen found, washed up on the shore of Massachusetts Bay in 1870, had a bell (body) with a diameter of 2.3 m (7 feet 6 inches) and tentacles 36.5 m (120 feet) long.[1][2][3]

The Spotted Jelly or Lagoon Jelly (Mastigias papua) is a species of jellyfish. It lives mainly in the southern Pacific Ocean. Instead of one single mouth, they appear to have several smaller mouth openings in their oral arms. These feed on zooplankton. [1]In Japan--especially along Pacific coast areas--these are sold as novelty pets, along with photoautotrophic phytoplankton, and are called takokurage (), or "octopod" or "rammer" jellies.
