A flower hat jelly looks like a colourful firework with its translucent bell and multi-coloured tentacles. Unlike other jellyfish, the rim of the bell too has tentacles that coil or uncoil as needed. This fish grows up to 15 cm in diameter with no head, heart, brain, cartilage or eyes. They catch small fish with their tentacles. Its lifespan is 4-6 months.
