Play media. The feeding process is continuous since the jellyfish must be swimming in order to move the prey to different mouthlets so they can be digested.In North America and Hawaii its non-native locations are the following: Northern Gulf of Mexico, Southern California, Greater Antilles, Florida, and the Hawaiian Islands.D'Ambra, I., Costello, J. H., & Bentivegna, F. (2001). 0:31. Contrary to most medusozoans, Jellyfishes with stinging tentacles are usually hunters. Springer Link, 451(1), 223-227.Cevik, C., O. Despite the limited life span compared to the long-lived or possibly immortal polyps, the size of medusae increases dramatically (Hansson, 1997; Miyake, Iwao & Kakinuma, 1997).

Phyllorhiza Punctata, auch umgangssprachlich gepunktete Wurzelmundqualle genannt, ist der Art Mastigias Papua sehr ähnlich, besitzt aber mehr weiße Punkte auf dem Schirm.
They have also been found in non-native regions such as Western Australia, United States, the Atlantic Basin, Brazil, Puerto Rico, the eastern Mediterranean, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Phyllorhiza punctata Lendenfeld, 1884 Die Gepunktete Wurzelmundqualle (Phyllorhiza punctata) ist eine Schirmqualle, deren ursprüngliches Verbreitungsgebiet im Pazifischen und Indischen Ozean war, in den letzten Jahrzehnten aber auch als invasiver Organismus im Golf von Mexiko gesichtet wurde.

Spotted jellies have been recorded many times in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, between Japan and Australia. punctata Genus Phyllorhiza Order Rhizostomeae Class Scyphozoa Phylum Cnidaria Kingdom Animalia; Size Range 50 cm; Introduction. Author: Michael Auer Figure 2. This large and spectacular jellyfish is common during the summer months in New South Wales coastal waters and estuaries, including Sydney Harbour. Fluid flows over clusters of mouthlets near the base of the oral arm disk in the centre of the cylinder. It can often be found swimming near the surface in murky waters near estuaries in harbours and embayments. When found in warm waters these jellyfish flourish. This atypical behaviour becomes a tourist attraction.The spotted jelly lives in trophic mutualism with a unicellular organism capable of photosynthesis: zooxanthella.
Cnidocyte cells enable them to catch their preys before eating them. (Phyllorhiza punctata) Haus des Meeres - Aqua Terra Zoo, Wien, Austria www.haus-des-meeres.at/index_e.html This mutualism is based on a life cycle which permits an exchange of energy between the two species. Both medusae had a bell diameter of 45 cm (Figure 1).
It feeds primarily on zooplankton. Sie gehört zu den größten Quallen der Erde.
It usually measures between 3 and 10 cm (1.2–3.9 in) in length and between 2 and 7 cm (0.8–2.8 in) in diameter but some individuals can reach 30 cm (12 in) long. They have a lifespan of approximately 4 months and are active primarily in mid-summer to early autumn.The spotted jelly is so named because of the little dots that garnish its jelly.
