Jellyfish
Found in every ocean, jellyfish are not technically "fish." Jellies have an umbrella like structure that allows them to float beautifully in the water. Watch out though, some of them sting!

Sorry, Wikipedia has no such critter - but there IS a Dumbo octopus... see the related link listed below for more info:
Can a jellyfish live in a rectangle tank?
No, they cannot survive in a normal, rectangular fish tank because they will get sucked into the filters. Jellyfish Art produces and sell special tanks that prevent this from happening.

Will people get stung by a dead jellyfish that was washed up on the beach?
Idk XD probably not...
the stingers DIE when the jelly DIES
^this person is seriously wrong. Stingers still contain poison well after death of the jellyfish. The stingers contain cells called nematocysts which can fire off toxins and sting whatever touches them even after death or separation from the actual jellyfish. Some jellyfish are extremely toxic and a single sting can kill you. As for the person who answered before me, why even bother answering if you don't know and are DEFINITELY wrong?
God did not create jellyfish. Jellyfish evolved from simpler more primitive lifeforms.
Is a jellyfish carnivore herbivore or omnivore?
Most if not all jellyfish are carnivorous.
Jellyfish are carnivorous, eating plankton, crustaceans, fish eggs, small fish and other jellyfish.
What is the diet of a crystal jellyfish?
Crystal Jellyfish mainly feed on humans, whales and another large mammals in the ocean. The Crystal Jellyfish is one of if not the most dangerous organism in the ocean. they can kill a whale within 43 seconds. They are found throughout the entire world which makes them even more dangerous.
Why does a jellyfish use meiosis?
The number of species of represented in the zooplankton of the sea is considerably enriched by the distinctive dispersal stages of many marine animals that spend their adult lives in the littoral or the benthos. To differing extents, these larvae (the amphiblastulae of sponges, the medusae and ephyrae of the cnidarian coelenterates, the pilidia of nemerteans, the trochospheres of polychaetes, the cypris larvae of cirripedes, the phyllosomae and zoeae of the eucarid malacostraca, the veligers of the lamellibranch mollusks, the various auriculariae, bipinnariae, and plutei of the echinoderms and the appendicularian larvae of the ascideans; (see Table II) share the diminutive size ranges, membranous translucence, and feeble swimming movements characteristic of the species which are planktonic throughout their lives. Among the smallest (20 mm, perhaps to 2 m). Though some of these are rather larger than some of the swimming organisms (“nekton”: fish, cephalopods) that are excluded from the understanding of “plankton” (discussed earlier), the large jellyfish qualify for their poor ability to control their own movements in the sea. The siphonophores, like Velella and the Portuguese man o'war, Physalis physalis, are little more than drifting “polyp colonies.” The true jelly-fish, which move themselves by slow, rhythmic pulsation of the umbrella-like manubrium, include the distinctive Aurelia, Cyanea, and Pelagia.
Finally, the young stages of several species of pelagic fish are of such diminutive size and swim so feebly and with weakness of motility that, for the first part of their lives, they are reasonably included among the plankton: Clupeids (herrings, sardines) and Scombrids (Mackerel) fulfill this description; ultimately demersal Gadids (cods and allies) and benthic flat fish (Pleuronectids, Soleids) also pass planktonic dispersal stages.
Do jellyfish have scales or wings or claws or stripes or fur?
NOTA. The aren't fish, so they don't have scales, they aren't birds, so they don't have wings, they can't go on land, so they have no claws, they aren't mammals, so they don't have fur, and since they don't really need to camoflauge themselves most have no need for stripes.
What in hell is a Coelenterate?
A coelenterate used to describe the taxon of invertebrates that included the jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and comb jellies. Recently, this classification was split into two phylums, the cnidarians (jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) and the ctenophorians (comb jellies). The term coelenterate is now only used informally to describe members of either phylum, and may well eventually pass from common usage as an archaic reference (but don't mention that to dyed-in-the-wool taxonomists, quite yet).
What is a science term for jellyfish?
jellyfish belong to the phylum cnidaria. members of this phylum are called cnidarians (the "c" is silent when pronounced). other members of this phylum are corals, sea anemone, and hydras. they all have the common characterisitic of tentacles with stinging cells (nematocysts).
Do wetsuits protect you from jellyfish?
In most cases, Yes! Some wetsuits are even specially made to protect you from Jelly fish.
Is an jellyfish a gastropod or a bivalve?
No, jellyfish are neither of these. The gastropods and bivalves belong to the phylum Mollusca, whilst jellyfish are Cnideria. Jellyfish are in many ways more primitive than molluscs, and lack many of their structural features.
Why do some jellyfish have stingers but others don't?
All jellyfish have stingers. I once wondered the same question. For example, a moon jellyfish doesn't look like it has stingers. It does, it's just that they're small and kind of tucked into the body.
What is the appedanges of a jellyfish?
Jellifishes can bear two types of appendages:
# tentacles, located along the margin of the bell, and sometimes on the bell too; # oral arms, which derive from a modification of the manubrium and located around their mouth.
