There are several types of jellyfish found in Australian waters, including the box jellyfish, the Irukandji jellyfish, the bluebottle jellyfish, and the moon jellyfish. Each of these jellyfish species has unique characteristics and can pose a threat to humans.
There are over 1,700 jellyfish species known.
Coastal North Carolina is home to several jellyfish species, including the moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita), which is commonly found in warm waters. The Atlantic sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) is another prevalent species, known for its painful sting. Additionally, the lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) can occasionally be spotted in the region, especially during late summer and fall. These jellyfish contribute to the diverse marine ecosystem along the coast.

Leatherback turtles primarily feed on jellyfish, but they tend to prefer certain species, such as those in the Aurelia and Chrysaora families.
