Upside-down jellyfish ( Cassiopea andromeda) at the Steinhart Aquarium, California Academy of Sciences; March 2009.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cassiopea (upside-down jellyfish) is a genus of true jellyfish and the only members of the family Cassiopeidae.[1] They are found in warmer coastal regions around the world, including shallow mangrove swamps, mudflats, canals, and turtle grass flats in Florida, and the Caribbean and Micronesia. The medusa usually lives upside-down on the bottom, which has earned them the common name. These jellyfish partake in a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates and therefore, must lie upside-down in areas with sufficient light penetration to fuel their energy source.[2] Where found, there may be numerous individuals with varying shades of white, blue, green and brown.
