Largest crown jellyfish discovered
Recommended for Foundational Grades
Scientists have discovered a new species of crown jellyfish that looks like an alien saucer. It is red in colour. The newly discovered species is called Atolla Reynoldsi.
What does crown jellyfish look like?
According to the researchers of Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute(MBARI), the jellyfish is about 5 inches(13 centimetres) in diameter. It can have 26 to 39 tentacles.
These fish have a deep groove running around their central ball and gives it a round shape, which looks like a frilly red crown.
Scientists say that it is the largest of the species of Atolla jellies. Moreover, Atolla reynoldsi doesn’t have the long, thin tentacle that trails behind its body. This is how it is different from other species of crown jellyfish.
