Fried Egg Jellyfish

About

Its sting is considered mild for humans. Contact may cause temporary irritation or slight itching, but rarely anything more serious.

Known as the "fried egg jellyfish" for the distinctive yellowish-brown dome at the centre of its umbrella, which can reach about 40 cm across. It is one of the most common jellyfish in Greek waters, especially during the warmer months. It is not aggressive and drifts with the currents, and small fish often find shelter beneath its umbrella and among its tentacles.
