Cephea
Genus of jellyfishes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Cephea is a genus of true jellyfish in the family Cepheidae. They are found in the Indo-Pacific and eastern Atlantic oceans. They are sometimes called the crown jellyfish, but this can cause confusion with the closely related genus Netrostoma or the distantly related species in the order Coronatae. They are also sometimes called the cauliflower jellyfish[4] because of the cauliflower-looking form on top of its bell.
