A new study has found that moon jellyfish have a unique survival mechanism where the creature is able to shift its remaining limbs evenly around its body.
Scyphozoa include the moon jelly Aurelia aurita, [9] in the order Semaeostomeae, and the enormous Nemopilema nomurai, in the order Rhizostomeae, found between Japan and China and which in some years causes major fisheries disruptions. The jellyfish fished commercially for food are Scyphomedusae in the order Rhizostomeae. [10]
