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.
