Stalked jellyfish have an upward facing umbrella-shaped bell with eight arms. Each of these arms is tipped with stinging tentacles, which they use to catch their prey.
Behaviour
Though largely sessile, they have an adhesive sucker at the bottom of their stalk, which they can detach and move to a more suitable location by cartwheeling!
Size
Across the bell 2.5-3 cm.
Status
Distribution
