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]
