Pitcairn Islands 2 Dollars 2011 Silver Proof Jellyfish Cotylorhiza Tuberculata

Description

Cotylorhiza tuberculata is a species of jellyfish, also known as the Mediterranean jelly or fried egg jellyfish. It is commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea and Adriatic Sea. Capable of growing as large as 35 cm in diameter, the Mediterranean jelly, unlike many other jellyfish, is capable of autonomous movement without relying on the current. It seems that this jellyfish’s sting has very little or no effect on humans.
