This is a speices of | This is a speices of jellyfish/ Sea Nettle occurring particularly in Atlantic ocean. The term "sea nettle" is also used for a related species, Chrysaora fuscescens. Which is on the west coast of North America from California to Alaska where usally it spends most of it times, that it live and reproduces. The Atlantic sea nettle is a bell-shaped invertebrate, usually semi-transparent and with small, white dots and reddish-brown stripes, The sting of the Sea Nettle is a sting related to the moderate" to "severe" and can be pernicious to smaller prey. It cannot make a death to a human but it could inflict sting that could paralize a small body part. The sea nettle is symmetrical, and carnivorous. Its mouth is located at the center of one end of the body, which opens to a gastrovascular cavity that is used for digestion. It has tentacles that surround the mouth to capture food. Nettles have no excretory or respiratory organs. Each sea nettle is free-swimming and can reproduce both sexually and asexually[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysaora_quinquecirrha] | ||

Four oral arms and long marginal tentacles that hang from the bell and can be several feet. [http://animals.jrank.org/pages/1493/Jellyfish-Scyphozoa-SEA-NETTLE-Chrysaora-quinquecirrha-SPECIES-ACCOUNTS.html] Symptoms from sea nettle stings are similar to those of the lion’s mane. They are more of them during the summer, when people are likely to be swimming in the ocean, this species is thought to be responsible for most of the jellyfish stings that occur in South Carolina. Exercise caution if sea nettles are observed in the water | ||
The Sea nettle also has a swimming bell that can reach 10 inches (25 centimeters) in diameter, but most sea nettles are much smaller. [http://animals.jrank.org/pages/1493/Jellyfish-Scyphozoa-SEA-NETTLE-Chrysaora-quinquecirrha-SPECIES-ACCOUNTS].htmlThe edges of the swimming bell are petal shaped. One of the very large tentacle emerges from between the stinging tentacles, and twice as many small tentacles arise from beneath the petals. They are present in alternate spaces between the petals. The narrow oral arms are long and filmy. The colors of medusae range from milky white to white with radiating purplish red stripes on the bell. Which has a very fine color to the Jellyfish that makes it look really cool [http://animals.jrank.org/pages/1493/Jellyfish-Scyphozoa-SEA-NETTLE-Chrysaora-quinquecirrha-SPECIES-ACCOUNTS.html] | The Sea nettle also has a swimming bell that can reach 10 inches (25 centimeters) in diameter, but most sea nettles are much smaller.

Jelleyfish and the sea nettle have 3 main body parts 1) the '''Bell''' The part of their body that looks like a big umbrella. Under the jelleyfish's body 2) The '''Tentacles''' which look like big strings, and they cause the sting when ever you touch them. Some people think that jelleyfish have teeth that bite you when you get stung, But really it's there Tentacles, 3) '''Oral Arms''' these are the parts that help the Sea Nettle eat the food that they collect. When they are done eating [http://www.family-vacation-getaways-at-los-angeles-theme-parks.com/Jellyfish-and-Sea-Nettles.html] | Jelleyfish and the sea nettle have 3 main body parts 1) the '''Bell''' The part of their body that looks like a big umbrella.

The Sea Nettle is mostly abundent during the summer along the east coast of the United states. From New England from The USA, The Sea Nettle is mostly in Chesapeake Bay. sea nettles like water with salt with organic materials totalling only about 0.2k of their entire live weight. For this reason, very little food can provide enough organic materials to result in a lot of growth. the jelley fish can get big very, very rapidly, and the amount of food that is in the bay thay grow very fast and have allot of food to grow. Sea nettles are geared for high reproduction. They begin producing eggs when the swimming bell is only about 1 1/2 inches in diameter [http://www.intercom.net/local/shore_journal/jp010716.html] | The Sea Nettle is mostly abundent during the summer along the east coast of the United states.

There are allot of eggs in the bay which hatch many of the sea nettles in the bay. "with a nettle about 4 inches in diameter shedding about 40,000 eggs into the water daily. The polyps produce more polyps. Each polyp produces 45 jellyfish each summer The Sea Nettle is in its ability to live in water of low salinity. Most jellyfish species live at ocean water, about 35 ppt. The Sea Nettle prefers waters having as little as salt, and may have estuaries like Chesapeake Bay" | There are allot of eggs in the bay which hatch many of the sea nettles in the bay.
