notes

This animal is typically translucent and can be 25-40 cm across. It feeds by stinging small medusans, plankton and mollusks with its tentacles and bringing them into its body for digestion. The prey barely feels the drawing in motion because it is so slow they don't sense it and can't react with an escape response in time. The A. aurita is capable of only limited motion- like other jellies it drifts with the current through the sea.
