Moon jelly
The moon jelly (Aurelia labiata) is a jellyfish common to the waters off California, Japan, the East Coast of the United States as well as Europe. The animal is large (up to 15cm across), translucent and often considered beautiful for the patterns of color within its body. It feeds by stinging small medusans, plankton and mollusks with its tentacles and bringing them into its body for digestion, but is capable of only limited motion; like other jellies it drifts with the current.
