Fried Egg Jellyfish
Cotylorhiza tuberculata
35.8266, 14.4364
Field Notes
Description:
C. tuberculata is usually less than 17 cm wide. The smooth, elevated dome is surrounded by a gutter-like ring. The marginal lappets are elongated and subrectangular. Each mouth-arm bifurcates near its base and branches several times. In addition to some larger appendages there are many short, club-shaped ones that bear disk-like ends. It can reach 35 cm in diameter. It seems that this jellyfish's sting has very little or no effect on humans.
Habitat:
It is commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea and Adriatic Sea.
