Limnomedusae [Limnomedusae]

Description

This entry represents the order itself rather than a specific family within it. The Limnomedusae order encompasses a variety of small, often transparent jellyfish found in both freshwater and marine environments. These creatures are characterized by their simple morphology, lacking complex structures like the stomach pouches found in more advanced jellyfish. They typically have a bell-shaped body with tentacles that emanate from the bell's edge, used for capturing prey. Despite their simplicity, they are effective predators within their ecological niches.
