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!

Can fluocid forte be used on the neck for jellyfish stings?
During a recent holiday to Spain i was stung across my neck by a jellyfish, the pharmacist in Spain gave me fluocid forte cream but my doctor gave me fucibet cream . Over the past two days my neck seems sore and im now confused about what cream i should be using. If anyone can help i would be very grateful.
Jellyfish go to the ocean floor, and inhale fish eggs. They can also rip open fish nets. People don't usually think about these fascinating creatures, unless stung.
What is the most common jellyfish?
ohh well i live in Texas and i have pretty much been stung by a man o' war (also manowar so i call it) so i know those are out there... lol :] there are also blue buttons which actually do not sting, but sometimes can cause a rash so i heard if touching them. however when i did, i didn't get irritation what so ever (ofcourse i collected them in my bucket!!). cannonball jellyfish too but are more closer to Florida.. but could get near Texas.. moon jellyfish too.. (very pretty!) and the sea nettle. haven't seen this yet- Lions Mane jellyfish. i always used to go to the port lavaca beach until that desease came about.... :(
my mom always tells me that when a jellyfish is dead it can still sting!! i always found some washed up on shore includind baby ones :] ephyna is the proper name though. they remind me of squishy on finding nemo except they are literally see through when i saw em.. i love Texas and the beach and visit every time i can!! expecially mustang island. just be careful and be aware!!

Jellyfish actually don't shock. They sting. They have little barbs on their tentacles (the long flowing things attached to the main body) that are filled with venom. That venom paralyzes prey, such as small fish or other small ocean animals when they wander into the tentacles. The venom isn't enough to kill a human, just give them a very bad rash that will hurt a lot! (unless they have a major allergic reaction.)
Do jellyfish have bones in thear boddy?
No, jellyfish do not have bones in their body. Instead of a backbone they have mesoglea, or a gelatinous substance that acts as a structural support in water, but if they get washed up on the shore, their bodies will collapse.
What is the second most poisonous jellyfish in the world?
It is the box jellyfish. Hands down. They can kill you in one minute. :(
Many species of wentletrap sea snails attack sea anemones. Some species swallow small and juvenile sea anemones whole, while others apparently nibble on tentacles and tissues of large sea anemones.
Many sea slugs that prey on sea anemones, such as the rainbow nudibranch, Dendronotus iris, do not kill their prey, but merely shear off a few tentacles with each attack.
What do people have in common with jellyfish?
Humans and jellyfish are both animals, both are living creatures that need to eat and reproduce to survive and maintain or grow their population.
No they cant kill you they are only called killer bees because they are much more aggressive and attack more often.
Jellies are carnivorous, feeding on plankton, crustaceans, fish eggs, small fish and other jellyfish.
What phylum do plankton belong to?
What phylum plankton belong to will depend on the specific organism. It will be a member of either bacterioplankton, phytoplankton or zooplankton.
Is physalia and jellyfish same?
Most people call Physalias jellyfish because they are gelatinous creatures floating around the oceans. Scientists, however, like to keep the title of jellyfish reserved for one specific class of Cnidarians, the Scyphozoans, named after the Greek word for cup, due to their shape. But go ahead and use the term any way you choose, scientists know what you mean.
Physalias belong to a particularly fascinating genus within the class of Hydrozoa, and each individual organism is a colony of attached polyps where each polyp began as an asexual clone of the founding polyp (the large float), and then differentiated into either an eating polyp, a predatory polyp, or a sexual polyp. Some people describe a Physalia as a collection of individuals that live together in a symbiotic relationship, but that description is more sensationalistic than descriptive. The morphogenesis of Physalia polyps is really much more like the differentiation of organs and appendages in a complex organism than say, a coral colony of identical replicas of the founding polyp.
Physalia colonies are also either male or female, and eventually reproduce sexually through broadcast fertilization, so that genetic variation is not simply limited to mutations. (Another reason to consider that the colony is an individual, instead of each polyp.) But however you choose to view this wonderful class of Hydrozoans, they certainly give us a glimpse about our ancestral heritage, and the possible variations that have sprung from that legacy.
jelly fish are animals the leave in the deep ocean so the dog will die few metters down the suface before he gets to the jelly fish, but imagen that he gets to it and the jelly fish attacks him in water, i am not that sure that he can kill him but yes hert him very badly. now if the jellyfish attacks out of the water his attack wodent be so powerfull and the dog would probably own him.
YES
The jellyfish uses its nematocysts for?
The Nematocysts is a venomous cell that helps jellyfish catch their prey, and because it is filled with venomous materials, it insures that their food doesn't escape. It appears as if the nematocyst cell can sting itself and other jellyfishes. This cells also helps protect them from other sea predators.
What is jellyfish venom called?
Be specific, what kind of jellyfish? For a Box Jellyfish, it is some sort of neurotoxin.
