Sea Jelly

Sea jellies, also known as jellyfish, are marine animals with soft, translucent bodies that resemble umbrellas. They belong to the phylum Cnidaria and have tentacles lined with stinging cells used for capturing prey and defense. Despite their delicate appearance, they can be efficiently propelled through the water by a pulsating bell-like body. Jellyfish play a vital role in ocean ecosystems as both predators and prey. Some species can be large and create stinging sensations on contact, while others are small and harmless. They are found in oceans worldwide, from surface waters to deep-sea environments.
