Synopsis
Stalked jellyfish (Calvadosia campanulata) are bell-shaped, jelly-like animals, which bear a stalk with a basal sucker, the sucker being used for attachment to seaweed or seagrass. They differ from true jellyfish in a few ways, namely by being stationary for their entire adult lives. Several species of stalked jellyfish can be found off the UK coast, on rocky shores and shallow sublittoral.St John's Jellyfish (Calvadosia cruxmelitensis) is native only to UK waters.The Spotted Kaleidoscope Jellyfish (Haliclystus octoradiatus) is abundant in the waters off the coast of Cornwall
