- Aurelia is commonly referred to as Moon jellyfish. This is the most common species of jellyfish. It is also known as common jellyfish or saucer jellyfish.New species are discovered everyday and there is no count of the many species that belong to this genus.

Jellyfish Habitat and Distribution Toxins in the bodies of water where Jellyfish live though have been a problem to their habitat though. Studies show that toxins from various types of pollution, oil spills, and chemicals can all get into the thin layers of skin of the Jellyfish. This can result in them not creating offspring.oxins in the bodies of water where Jellyfish live though have been a problem to their habitat though.

Jellyfish Jellyfish and their relatives such as the Portuguese man-of-war are mobile, either actively swimming or pushed by winds and currents. Both stationary and mobile members of this group have radial symmetry with body parts radiating from a central axis. This allows jellyfish to detect and respond to food or danger from any direction. Jellyfish have an outer layer which covers the external body surface, and an inner layer which lines the gut.

Jellyfish Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea. Scyphozoans are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans live in freshwater. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coastal zones worldwide. Jellyfish have roamed the seas for at least 500 million years, and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multi-organ animal.

Also Drymonema can reach a remarkable size: it can be even 1 m in diameter and it is the largest jellyfish of the Mediterranean Sea.

- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) are three (or perhaps four) octopus species that live in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia.Their primary habitat is around southern New South Wales, South Australia, and northern Western Australia.n individual blue-ringed octopus tends to use its dermal chromatophore cells to camouflage itself until provoked, at which point it quickly changes color, becoming bright yellow with blue rings or lines. The blue-ringed octopus spends much of its life hiding in crevices.

Jellyfish Habitat and Distribution Jellyfish Habitat Facts and Information. The habitat for Jellyfish is very vast as they can live in any ocean water. With over 2,000 species out there they have been able to find plenty of locations where they can thrive.Some species live in the cold Arctic water and others live in the warm tropical waters.hen Jellyfish are still in the polyp stage they have to find something in the water to attach to. It is only when they are a full Jellyfish that they can freely float around. There will be times when a Jellyfish is out there moving around by itself in the habitat.
