Atolla vanhoeffeni is a species of true jellyfish in the family Atollidae. [1]
The genus name, Atolla, is derived from the word atoll. [2] The specific epithet was given in honor of Ernst Vanhöffen. [3]
Vegetation is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide. It is a general term, without specific reference to particular taxa, life forms, structure, spatial extent, or any other specific botanical or geographic characteristics. It is broader than the term flora which refers to species composition. Perhaps the closest synonym is plant community, but vegetation can, and often does, refer to a wider range of spatial scales than that term does, including scales as large as the global. Primeval redwood forests, coastal mangrove stands, sphagnum bogs, desert soil crusts, roadside weed patches, wheat fields, cultivated gardens and lawns; all are encompassed by the term vegetation.
Crown jellyfishes are the six families of true jellyfish that belong to the order Coronatae. They are distinguished from other jellyfish by the presence of a deep groove running around the umbrella, giving them the crown shape from which they take their name. Many of the species in the order inhabit deep sea environments.
Atolla wyvillei, also known as the Atolla jellyfish or Coronate medusa, is a species of deep-sea crown jellyfish. It lives in oceans around the world. Like many species of mid-water animals, it is deep red in color. This species was named in honor of Sir Charles Wyville Thomson, chief scientist on the Challenger expedition.
Atolla is a genus of crown jellyfish in the order Coronatae. The genus Atolla was originally proposed by Haeckel in 1880 and elevated to the monotypic family level, as Atollidae by Henry Bigelow in 1913. The six known species inhabit the mesopelagic zone. The medusae possess multiple lobes called lappets at the bell margin. Medusae also have eight tentacles, alternating with eight rhopalia, and twice as many lappets occur as tentacles.
Gigantactis is a genus of deep-sea fish of the family Gigantactinidae, first described in 1902 by August Brauer. The species in this genus are poorly known and found in all oceans, at depths of 1,000–2,500 metres (3,300–8,200 ft). The most striking feature of these fish is extremely enlarged first filament of dorsal fin, called the illicium, with bioluminescent photophore at its end. The genus name, Gigantactis, derives from the Greek, gigas and aktis (ray), describing the genus by its long dorsal-fin spine which serves as a lure.

Poralia is a genus of jellyfish in the family Ulmaridae. It is a monotypic genus containing a single species, Poralia rufescens. This jellyfish is pelagic, and is found in deep water in most of the world's oceans.
Atorella is a genus of crown jellyfish. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Atorellidae and includes five species. Members of this family are known from the eastern coast of Africa and the western coast of Panama.

Atolla chuni is a species of crown jellyfish within the family Atollidae. The species is found distributed in the Southern Ocean and some parts of the southern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in pelagic environments at depths of up to 5198 meters. Individuals have been found with partially digesting remains of large Calanoida copepods, chaetognaths, Hyperiidea amphipods, and krill attached to the gastric cirri. It grows to a length of 7 centimeters.
Atolla tenella is a species of jellyfish in the family Atollidae which lives in the Arctic Ocean. Its main characteristic is the long trailing tentacle that is way longer than the others.
