Scyphozoa is a class of jellyfish that lacks a velum, a thin membrane on the "umbrella" that helps propel jellyfish through the water. Instead they move by contracting and relaxing muscles in their saucer-like body.
They also do not have a digestive tract and food enters and leaves the same opening.
Most live in the open ocean.
The scyphozoa has tetramerous symmetry.
Scyphozoa are often called true jellyfish.
