Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [ 3 ] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.

[1] This species is native to the seas off Japan, China, Korea, and California, as well as the Mediterranean and other temperate seas. and they can also be found in coastal areas of China, Korea, California, the Mediterranean and other temperate seas.
Aurelia limbata is in the genus Aurelia, which is commonly called moon jellies. Aurelia is the most common and widely distributed species of jellyfish. [1] A. aurita is the closest relative to A. limbata, because they have a similar gene orientation [2] and the same life cycle.
Aurelia labiata in the Vienna Zoo. Aurelia labiata is a species of moon jellyfish. It is a cnidarian in the family Ulmaridae. [1] It is typically larger than Aurelia aurita, [2] with individuals document up to 45 cm (18 in). [3] However, much of its size range overlaps with A. aurita (up to 40 cm (16 in)), making size an imperfect diagnostic tool.
