Medusa

(Compass Jellyfish)

Scientific Name: Chrysaora hysoscella

Some small fish are immune to jellyfish stings and live among the tentacles, serving as bait in a fish trap; they are safe from potential predators and can share the fish caught by the jellyfish. Jellyfish cause skin burns, which can sometimes lead to beaches being closed.
