Greater Jellyfloat

🫧 Jellyfloat 🫧

Species: Greater Spotted Jellyfloat

Family: Jellyfloat

Class: Schyphozoa

Phylum: Cnidaria

Anatomy and Physiology:

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat is an organism similar to the jellyfish, except for the fact that it does not live in water, but rather, floats in the air, like it’s cousin, the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat. They are larger, and pink, with bioluminescent spots. They have antennae that function as simple sensory organs, as well as stingers, and vacuum-like capabilities that enable it to suck up prey into it’s body cavity for digestion. Their sensory organs are actually filled with bioluminescence, and have been observed luring prey. 

Ecology/Habitat:

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat, although they do not live in water, prefer damp environments, as they require moisture to keep their mucous membranes well lubricated. Misty environments are optimal.

Diet:

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat are carnivorous, slow, but quicker than it’s Lesser cousins. They generally sneak up to unsuspecting prey, vacuum them up, and then slowly digest.

Behavior:

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat are placid and quiet, much like jellyfish, spending much of their time drifting about and eating. They do actively hunt, however. Their bioluminescence sensory organs have also been observed being used as lures, much like the angler fish.

Communication:

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat live in groups among the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat as well. They are able to hunt independently or in groups. They are not known to make any sounds audible to human ears.

Human uses:
