Symbiosis means "living together". Symbiotic relationships are very common in the ocean, especially among animals living on coral reefs.There are several kinds of symbiosis: "mutualism" is a partnership in which both animals benefit; "parasitism" is a relationship in which one animal benefits at the expense of the other; "commensalism" is a term used to cover all other kinds of symbiosis - usually relationships where one partner benefits, while the other is neither helped nor harmed.So jellyfish symbiosis would basically mean the jellyfish living together with other jellyfish or another organism in one of the three ways stated above.

The sea dwellers that hang upside down and kick food into their mouths are called upside-down jellyfish, specifically those from the genus Mastigias. They have a unique feeding mechanism where they use their tentacles to capture plankton and other small organisms, and they often position themselves upside down on the seafloor. Their bell-shaped bodies float with the tentacles facing upwards, allowing them to effectively filter food from the water. This behavior is a fascinating adaptation to their environment.
