Nausithoe clausi is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. [1] [2] [3] The species has been observed in the Western Central Pacific, and are ~0.9 centimeters wide. [4]
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.
Periphyllidae is a family of jellyfish containing four genera and six species. The most well-known member of the family, Periphylla periphylla, is usually considered a deep-sea species, but it forms large blooms in surface waters of Norwegian fjords.
Nausithoidae is a family of jellyfish.
Cassiopea andromeda is one of many cnidarian species called the upside-down jellyfish. It usually lives in intertidal sand or mudflats, shallow lagoons, and around mangroves. This jellyfish, often mistaken for a sea anemone, usually keeps its mouth facing upward. Its yellow-brown bell, which has white or pale streaks and spots, pulsates to run water through its arms for respiration and to gather food.
Lucernariidae is a family of stalked jellyfish containing two genera.
Haliclystidae is a family of stalked jellyfish in the order Stauromedusae.
Haliscera is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Halicreatidae.
Aeginura is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Aeginidae.
Arctapodema is a genus of deep-sea hydrozoans in the family Rhopalonematidae.
Nausithoe is a genus of jellyfishes belonging to the family Nausithoidae.
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.
Nausithoe challengeri is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Adult medusa are believed to be up to 12 millimeters in diameter, and the specimen has long and thin tentacles.
Nausithoe atlantica is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. They have only been encountered ~38 times by humans since records began, and inhabit the deep sea.
Nausithoe hagenbeckii is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Medusa of the species are estimated to be ~5 millimeters in diameter. Despite being a marine jellyfish, this species has yet to be found in the wild: the type specimen was collected from a tropical aquarium at Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany.
Nausithoe eumedusoides is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. They have been observed as inhabiting the Mediterranean.
Nausithoe globifera is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. The species is ~22 millimeters in diameter, 10 millimeters of which is composed of the central disc.
Nausithoe marginata is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. The species has only been observed a handful of times, and may be extinct.
Nausithoe limpida is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. An adult medusae is ~6 millimeters in diameter, and the species is possibly extinct.
Nausithoe rubra is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Adult medusa are believed to grow up to ~15 millimeters in size, and the species may be distributed worldwide. Species is confirmed to be in the East Atlantic, but may also reside in other oceans.
Nausithoe sorbei is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Ephyrae of the species are believed to be 4.7–5.0 millimeters in diameter.
