Aurelia, commonly known as Moon Jellyfish, is a genus of delicate and translucent jellyfish widely recognized for their saucer-shaped bell and short, fine tentacles. They are a popular choice for public aquariums and advanced hobbyists with specialized jellyfish aquariums.

They are captivating to watch but require specific care to maintain their health and prevent damage to their fragile bodies.
