Haliclystus Kerguelensis
''Haliclystus'' is a genus of stalked jellyfish that contains 11 species and one nomen nudum (''Haliclystus sanjuanensis''). It is the largest genus in the order Stauromedusae. Members of this genus are found in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern oceans. Two members of this genus, '' Haliclystus kerguelensis'' and ''Haliclystus antarcticus'', are found in the Southern hemisphere only. The remaining 9 members are found in the Northern hemisphere only. Species in this genus have four longitudinal planes of symmetry. They have eight arms which are tipped with clusters of secondary tentacles. The number of these secondary tentacles is reported to vary across the different species. Species in this genus also have eight large pads known as anchors located between the arms. These vary in size and shape and currently play in important role in differentiating one species from another. Some, but not all, species in this genus have prominent white nematocyst A cnidocyt ...

Haliclystus Antarcticus
''Haliclystus antarcticus'' is a Stauromedusae, stalked jellyfish which lives on rocky shore lines in the Southern hemisphere. Description The original type specimens for this species have been lost. however the species was re-described in 2009. Individuals vary in colour from red-orange with light red gonads (individuals found at King George Island (Antarctica), King George Island, Antarctica) to red and/or green (individuals found in Valdivia, Chile). ''Haliclystus antarcticus'' has a 'stalk' (peduncle) which is a half to two thirds the length of its Calyx (anatomy), calyx. The inside of the peduncle is divided into four chambers. The calyx itself is about 3.5–16.2 mm tall and 4.1–23.4 mm wide. It is cone shaped and semi-translucent with a smooth outer surface. The animal has eight arms arranged in pairs which radiate out from a central four sided mouth. The arms are 0.3–6.0 mm in length. Each arm is tipped by clusters of up to roughly 200 tentacles wh ...

Haliclystus Auricula
''Haliclystus auricula'' is a stalked jellyfish or Kaleidoscope jellyfish named for its shape resembling a funnel-shaped kaleidoscope that has eight arms typically found in the Northern Hemisphere. The Staurozoan is classified within the phylum Cnidaria under the kingdom Animalia. Under its genus, ''H. auricula'' is considered the type species. Taxonomy The defining morphological characteristic for ''H. auricula'' is the presence of a tentacular cluster of internal intertentacular lobules. ''H. auricula'' also resembles another species called ''H. antarcticus'' and as a result of this many scientists go debate on whether or not they exhibit synonymy based on morphological features. The scientific name is credited to James-Clark in 1863. However, in 2010, Natural England, ''The Guardian'' and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History ran a competition asking members of the public to provide a common name for this species. The name "Kaleidoscope Jellyfish," submitted by Keple ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Haliclystus Octoradiatus
''Haliclystus octoradiatus'', common name spotted kaleidoscope jellyfish, is a stalked jellyfish in the family Lucernariidae. Description The bell of large specimens may be 25mm in diameter. However, specimens with a 10mm bell is far more commonly observed. The colour varies greatly. Specimens that appear quite opaque may be orange-brown, olive-brown, red, orange, or may appear locally green. Specimens that seem more translucent may appear brown and aqua, or almost white in colour. The morphology and colour of the calyx may differ greatly from specimen to specimen. The primary tentacles (anchors) may range in appearance from orbicular to suborbicular. The length of the calyx and stalk are approximately the same. There are 30 to 120 secondary tentacles arranged in clusters at the tip of the arms. Each conad contains 10 to 70 gonadal sacs. This species is commonly mis-recorded as '' Haliclystus auricula''. It was separated from this species in 1997. Although similar in appearanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Haliclystus Sanjuanensis
''Haliclystus sanjuanensis'' is a species of small (~4 cm) stalked jellyfish found in the Pacific Ocean along the west coast of North America. This species can be found in shallow waters at low tide on soft substrates such as seagrass ('' Phyllospadix''). A variety of colour morphs can be found ranging from yellow-green to red. ''Haliclystus sanjuanensis'' was formally described as a distinct species in 2023, following sequence data establishing it as a distinct taxon.
