Net Jellies [Periphyllidae]

Description

Periphyllidae, or net jellies, are a family of deep-sea coronate jellyfish known for their intricate tentacle arrangements, resembling a net. These jellies are adapted to life in the dark depths of the oceans, with some species capable of withstanding immense pressure. Their diet primarily consists of small fish and other marine invertebrates. Periphyllidae contribute to the complexity of deep-sea food webs, serving both as predators and prey.
