Jellyfish Species Index
I will be updating this index of jellyfish. The point of it is to offer a "field guide" of sorts and for educational purposes. Feel free to send me a jellyfish species that I don't have listed! Many and most of these images are not my own. If you find one of your images here and wish for it to be removed, then contact me and I will gladly do so.
For a physical book or guide, try Medusae of the World. It's an excellent book with tons of jellies in it. It's quite old, however.
