Description
Most jellies prefer high salinity, but the atlantic sea nettle is an exception—it can thrive in low-salinity water. This jelly forms numerous symbiotic relationships, such as with the blue crabs that use the jelly as a means of transport while cleaning the jelly in return. The species is so abundant in certain regions, such as the Chesapeake Bay, USA, that beaches are occasionally closed due to the large number of atlantic sea nettles that can congregate there.
