Invertebrate- Cnidarians- Neon Jellyfish




The Neon jellyfish is a jellyfish that can grow to only be 13 centimetres in length. The creature is so delicate and fragile that they can break into pieces just from the impact of swimming into a net. The Neon jellyfish has no kind of pigments in its body which neither produce light nor do any other jelly fish for that matter. It was the 159th jellyfish that was discovered in Australia, it was discovered by a woman named Lisa Gershwin. And in her opinion this species of Jellyfish is just splendid. She found it on the 16th of March 2009 and there is very little known about this amazing new species of jellyfish.
