Cotylorhiza tuberculata
Cotylorhiza tuberculata, also known as the fried egg jellyfish, is a species native to the Mediterranean that is harmless to humans. Due to the warming of the seas, this species has multiplied significantly in recent years. The jellyfish are being spotted more and more frequently off the Mediterranean coasts of the Spanish holiday islands.
They can move autonomously and independently of ocean currents.
The jellyfish's umbrella can reach a diameter of 40cm.
The animal feeds on small marine animals and algae. It lives just below the surface of the water and only lives for about six months.
The photo of this jellyfish was taken in an aquarium. The colours and contrast are particularly intense due to the dark background and artificial lighting.
However, many of the photos in my series were disturbed by reflections or motion blur.
