Phacellophora camtschatica: The Fried Egg Jellyfish

Phacellophora camtschatica, commonly known as the fried egg jellyfish or egg yolk jellyfish, is a large, striking jellyfish found in cool waters worldwide, especially in the Northern Pacific. Its bell, resembling a fried egg with a yellow center surrounded by opaque white tissue, can reach up to 60 cm (2 ft) in diameter, with tentacles extending up to 6 meters (20 ft).

This jellyfish primarily feeds on zooplankton and smaller jellyfish using its tentacles covered in nematocysts. Its weak sting also allows small crabs and amphipods to form symbiotic relationships, often hitching rides on its bell. Known for its unique appearance and ecological role, Phacellophora is a fascinating example of marine biodiversity.
