The Ocean's Beauty

Hi again,

Many people knows the jellyfish from their negative side,well , I mean their fatal stings. It's true that the stings can be fatal but not all of them are deathful.

Jellyfish has a lot of species, varies according to their appearence, body length, and also the effect of their stings.

Yet the scientist still can't properly classify all of these jellys because sometime it is so hard to do it because of their color morphs and lack of identification keys.

Giant Nomurai jellyfish , box jellyfish, Portugese Man of War Jellyfish - this are several of famous jellyfish that swarm in our ocean now days.

There's still a lot of them like cyanea, phylorhyza, cannon ball, mastigias are alien to the public. May be because they are less harmfull and also less trouble than the giant nomurai - I guess ?

For better understanding its good for us to know basic anatomy of the jellyfish and also their life cycle.I will describe it in my next post.

Thanks for viewing =)
