Jellyfish Common Names vs Scientific Names
Those who've known me for a while know that I typically prefer remembering a jellyfish's scientific name over their common name, but why?
Well... it's mostly for simplicity's sake. Jellyfish have been around a lot longer than humans have, and as a result, many species have accumulated multiple confusing and misleading names.
It's just easier to know them by scientific name, which typically have more of the truth in mind.
Many more don't even have a common name... so it's also sort of a thing I do to keep things consistent.
Also, some scientific names are really cool. Like for this jellyfish:
Would you rather call it the "Black Sea Nettle" or the Chrysaora achlyos?
(I talk about the etymology here if you're interested in knowing the names of the Greek Deities that make up its name. It's very cool and would take way too long for me to explain on this post)
#.Professor Jellyfish speaks#I'll try to accompany the scientific names with common names and pictures if applicable though#sometimes I don't get any information with just the science name so I do have to know all of a given jellyfish's names as well haha#though that isn't to say I know all jellyfish by scientific name alone#I really only know jellyfish from Order semaeostomeae very well#I tend to know jellyfish from other classes and phyla by common name haha (it's a bit embarrassing... I still need more time to learn about#-them)#chrysaora achlyos#black sea nettle#jellyfish

Jellyfish identification reddit my beloved (<- and JellyfishWarehouse my beloved)
#I'm honestly not the best at differentiating between different species but it's ok :)#tbh i'm not 100% sure that the jellyfish was a chrysaora pacifica bc there's usually some reddish pigment in there#but#it's the closest one we've got and the most popular ones kept in aquariums#someone else mentioned the chrysaora quinqincirreha(?) and that seems like a likely option#though usually it is ghostly white and doesn't have the same striking stripes that the image does#it reminds me more of the sea nettles that are found around parts of Africa but I haven't done enough research on them to be 100% sure#chrysaora pseudocelata is such a funny name to me tho#um#anyways I should rly learn how to differentiate octants in a jellyfish#because that's like the number 1 way to differentiate between species#they are radially symmetrical so they have 8 parts#number of tentacles is surprisingly important too#the chrysaora pacifica (japanese sea nettle) has 40 tentacles while the chrysaora melanaster (northern sea nettle) has 24#the difference is also pretty staggering with the closely related chrysaora achlyos and chrysaora colorata (black sea nettle and purple str-#-iped sea nettle respectively). can't remember which one has more but my bet is on the c. achlyos#mun rambles#jellyfish#chrysaora pacifica

Jelly n.64 - 💃 Mencaes 💃
● Adapts its swim to the rhythm of the music. Without music it does not move. It is too demanding sometimes.
● It loves to be admired, and although it is difficult for a Jelly, it always succeeds.
● It has a unique style. Some like their tentacles so much that they make dress contests inspired by it.

Can you tell us anything about the Chrysaora achylos?
I'm obsessed with them and as someone living on the east coast, I have no hope of seeing them in person :( 👉👈.
Of course! We don't currently have them at our Aquarium, but we have housed them in the past.
Black sea nettles (Chrysaora achlyos) are very mysterious. Except for periodic appearances in California ocean waters, the distribution of this jelly is largely unknown. It does occur in Baja California, Mexico (Isla San Quentin). Up to May 2015, the most recent appearances were in 2010 and 2012 in San Diego, California, waters and 2013 in south Laguna waters.
The reproductive cycle of this jelly in the in the wild is not known. A collaborative team of researchers from several aquariums and the University of California at Berkeley has been successful in propagating the jellies in laboratory settings. When the jellies swarmed in local waters in 1999, reproductive systems of adult males and females that washed ashore were sampled. Sperm and eggs incubated together for 24 hours produced swimming planulae (larvae). These settled to become polyps that cloned non-motile polyps. Eventually, strobilation took place and ephyrae were released that became mature medusae.
This jelly has symbiotic relationships with both larval and juvenile crabs (Cancer sp.) that travel with the jelly host until the crabs are ready to become bottom dwellers. The crabs have been observed consuming detritus-laden mucus from the oral arms. Larval and juvenile forms of the Pacific butterfish, Peprilus simillimus, have also been observed swimming behind the bell close to the oral arms into which they could swim to escape danger.
Last fun fact, the black sea nettle was the largest invertebrate given a scientific name in the 20th century and that did not occur until 71 years after it was discovered.
Thanks for asking us about the black sea nettle! If you're interested in knowing more, click the photo to read our Online Learning Center entry about this species.

I read Jellyhead last night and desperately needed to draw the mc (made her a chrysaora achlyos and a fem bc my bsf insisted). Second ver. in the works, but I hope you like it. I really love your writing💫
YOOOOOO
She came out so goood! She looks like she's wearing a big, puffy dress and the tentacles are so well blended! And the ruffle detail on the oral arms! Her hair! I love her hair it goes so well with the rest of the design!
She looks so elegant and perfect for floating aimlessly around in an oversized tank while bumping into things like nobody's business.

Mizutsuki Sui and Irakusa Achlys
Here is the first batch of name changes! We've got the childhood friend, Mizutsuki Sui (formerly Mizunami Haruto) and the brooding Irakusa Achlys (Formerly Irakusa Akuros)
I'll put the name etymology under the cut for those who are interested ^-^
Mizutsuki uses the kanji 水(mizu) "water" and 月(tsuki) "moon"
Sui uses the on'yomi reading of the kanji 水(sui) "water"
Additionally, the name for the moon jellyfish in kanji can be written as 水水月.
Irakusa uses the kanji spelling of the stinging nettle 刺草(irakusa), which is the English namesake of the Chrysaora achlyos (Black Sea Nettle)
Achlys (アキリス) is the Greek personification of sorrow as well as the "Mist" blinding mortal eyes upon death, as well as the namesake for the scientific name of the Black Sea Nettle.
#Hopefully you can forgive the final (hopefully) name change#I think these suit the characters much better#Achlys sounds less stupid than Akuros#and I know I've changed Sui's name time and time again but hear me out. This is a two layered pun in both English and Japanese and I need -#-this#anyway that's all ^-^. have a good day#sui mizutsuki#achlys irakusa#art#sure I'll tag art#I'll get to updating the names on my main page... eventually....

My monthly LUMi art for July! What if she was other species of jellyfish? I tried drawing LUMi as a black sea nettle (Chrysaora achlyos).

Need more ice and fire after last night? We've got an encore with our black sea nettles and purple-striped jellies! No dragons though.
We’re very excited to display these two species together—with overlapping ranges in the wild, this gelatinous song of ice and fire is being sung in our exhibit hall once again! It’s been years of diligent work on the part of our jelly aquarists to raise black sea nettles (Chrysaora achlyos) and purple-striped jellies (Chrysoara colorata) from scratch behind the scenes. Thanks jelly aquarists!

Black Sea Nettle (Chrysaora achlyos). (Left is scanned, the right is a photo) (Right is closer to the actual colour) I might colour in the background later.
> Quick fact & image I based it off of below
The bell can grow to be up to 1 meter in diameter and the oral arms can grow to be 5-6 meters long.
