South American sea nettle
The South American sea nettle is a large jellyfish with a red-brown bell and long, spiralling arms. It drifts in the open ocean along both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of South America. Its stinging tentacles catch the tiny animals it eats.1

- Long, spiralling arms1
- Thin outer tentacles that surround inner tentacles which are often white and fluffy in appearance1

Dintlha
Its bell can grow up to 1 metre across, but most adults are much smaller.1
Crab larvae may form a parasitic relationship with it, using it for food and shelter.1
A single polyp can produce between 3 and 10 young jellyfish called ephyrae in about 7 to 10 days.1
Its population has increased in recent years, which may be linked to climate change and major changes to ocean ecosystems.1
Its stinging tentacles are used to catch its prey, and the adults are eaten by sea turtles and some fish.1

- Fertilised eggs drift in the ocean, and often attach to the arms of adults for safety. They develop into swimming larvae called planulae, which later settle and grow into polyps.1
