Pelagia noctiluca is a semeaostome scyphomedusa. As a scyphozoan, it is larger than its hydrozomedusan brethren with a bell diameter of up to 15 cm and tentacles extending outward up 30 times the bell diameter. It swims continuously as a C‐type predator feeding on a wide variety of prey types including salps, doliolids, pteropods, forams, amphipods, chaetognaths, and fishes.
