Lobed Jellyfish [Lobonema]

Description

Lobonema is a lesser-known genus of jellyfish within the family Rhizostomatidae, referred to as the Lobed Jellyfish. This genus is characterized by its small to medium-sized bell that is divided into lobes, giving it a somewhat segmented appearance. Unlike many other jellyfish, Lobonema species do not have prominent tentacles, relying instead on their lobed oral arms for feeding. These jellyfish are found in various oceanic regions, including the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are known for their bioluminescent properties, which they may use to deter predators or attract prey.
