Pelagia noctiluca
The body is radially symmetrical and has four long oral arms with crenulated margins that are the primary feeding surface. Each P. noctiluca medusa has also 8 long tentacles that emerge from the umbrella margin.
Widely distributed in all warm and temperate waters of the world's oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea.
P. noctiluca are bioluminescent, i.e. have an ability to produce light.
