Cassiopea
Did you know?
As their name suggests, Cassiopea or Mangrove Jellyfish are found worldwide in the shallow, coastal waters of mangrove forests, where they typically settle in large groups on sand or seagrass beds.
Unlike other jellyfish species, the Cassiopea settles firmly in a specific place on the seabed and does not drift around. It looks as if it is standing on its head as it points its tentacles towards the sunlight.
Cassiopea can release their stinging cells into the open water to protect themselves from predators. This allows the animals to defend themselves against enemies without direct physical contact.
