Overview
Aequorea jellyfish - Blue Bottle Jellyfish Also known as jellyfish, the Portuguese warships. Cnidaria (Cnidaria) Hydra Gang (Hydrozoa) Aequorea jellyfish genus (Physalia) of all marine invertebrates, collectively. Its floating habit and a very painful sting known. Distributed in the warm ocean all over the world, but is most common in the North Atlantic Gulf Stream and the Indian Ocean, the Pacific tropical and subtropical areas, and sometimes thousands of floating in the sea. Aequorea jellyfish (P. physalis) is the only widely distributed species. Mitral blue bottle jellyfish (P. utriculus) found in the Pacific and Indian Ocean. Mitral medusa cystic upper is a floating inflatable device, transparent, pink, blue or purple, long 9 30 cm (3 to 12 inches), width 15 cm (6 inches) or more. Here are clusters of polyps, polyp-like in 3 categories ︰ means a member of reproduction and nutrition, a member of a staff in charge of predation, reproduction and feeding. Finger-like tentacles may be sagging a member of up to 50 meters (about 165 feet) deep, barbed nematocysts can paralyze small fish and other prey. Then wrap nutrition a member of prey paralysis, and to digest. Reproductive behavior is not very clear. By features such as ridge sail movement. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) Si Aequorea jellyfish and other animals, there is an approximately 8 cm long dual fins Chang is (Nomeus) fish vessels fish (N. gronovii), living in between the Aequorea jellyfish's tentacles, almost no cell injury by thorns, and feed on jellyfish tentacles (tentacles to the continuous regeneration), but also sometimes eat jellyfish. Aequorea jellyfish stings very painful and can cause severe reactions such as fever, shock and cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Is eating fish Aequorea jellyfish (Physalia physalis) Insects belonging to outline the Aequorea jellyfish Aequorea jellyfish polyp a genus, not in the usual sense of the jellyfish, jellyfish is a low of coelenterate, coelenterate in taxonomy under the door, Scyphozoa, and mitral Jellyfish are hydra worm link, it's true body is a collection of Hydra.
