narcomedusae jellyfish -; ༉‧₊˚✧

the narcomedusae jellyfish is a really cool jellyfish that is found in the mediterranean sea in large groups in deep waters. this jellyfish is in an order of hydrozoans in the subclass trachylinae, which dont usually have a polyp stage! as you can see, the medusa has a dome shaped bell with very thin sides, and the tentacles are attatched above the lobed margin of the bell with a gastric pouch above each. and!! there are no bulbs on the tentacles and no radial canals!!

narcomedusae use their tentacles to catch big and fast moving fish. they do this by holding their tentacles perpendicular to the direction they are swimming so they can cover a large area, and then if something is caught they bend the tentacle inwards and coil them at the tips of their mouths.

overall i think the narcomedusae is a really cool jellyfish, a solid 8/10!!
