Info
Atolla reynoldsi is the largest crown jellyfish ever discovered with a blood red and saucer-like shape, so to say a "jellyfish UFO" :-)
The crown jellyfish has between 26 and 39 tentacles, with the help of which it can catch passing zooplankton, which also include other jelly-like marine organisms such as state jellyfish.
Findings of the reddish jellyfish are so far only known from thedepth of the cold Northeast Pacific from the west coast of the USA.
