Medusozoa jelly fish are known to be the OTHER type of jelly fish , now the scyphozoan jelly fish is known as the true jelly fish , where they could only live in salt water as for the other one could live in fresh water and both could be very color full some times white to even orange,red,and brown . Jelly fish are found in every ocean in the world they are often found in coastal zones world wide , they have been swimming around the sea for 5 million year to 7 million years which makes them the most multi-organ animal. They are carnivores eating fish eggs fish and even there own kind. Jelly fish are made up of 90% water which makes it easy for the to float, they have there tentecals to defend them selfs and apparently to keep them warm , they also use them to bring their food to there mouths and others just use the current of the ocean . there are different stages to the reproduction first when a jelly fish is an adult they reproduce sexually by releasing a sperm and egg into the water which lands on a soft or sturdy ground where the egg and the sperm connect , they use asexual reproduction for a few months more and then clone and bud them self's when the zodiac is formed .
