larson's jellyfish

Drymonema larsoni, known as the pink meanie, is a species of jellyfish belonging to the class Scyphozoa (true jellyfish). Following a mass sighting in 2000 in the Gulf of Mexico, the species and the rest of its genus were classified as their own family (Drymonematidae), a new subset of Scyphozoa. They were originally thought to be a member of the same family as the lion's mane jellyfish, Cyanea capillata, but they were shown to have morphological and molecular differences.

Drymonema est un genre de méduses appartenant à une nouvelle famille, celle des Drymonematidae (Bayha & Dawson, 2010). Cette famille ne comporte que les 3 espèces du genre. Elles vivent dans l'Atlantique et en Méditerranée et se nourrissent d'autres méduses.
