It is the type species for its genus. NameIn 2010, Natural England, The Guardian and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History ran a competition asking members of the public to provide a common name for this species. The name "Kaleidoscope Jellyfish," submitted by Kepler Petzall, was eventually chosen.[1] Runner-up names included Fractal flower jellyfish and Mermaid's trumpet jellyfish.[1] DescriptionH. auricula is 2-2.5 cm tall with the stalk accounting for half of the height of the organism. The remainder of the organism is shaped like a funnel, the colour of which varies across the species from grey/green to red/brown. It has eight arms which radiate out from a central mouth. Each arm is tipped by clusters of up to 100 tentacles and connected by a thin membrane. Primary tentacles known as anchors are located on the membrane margin between the arms. The kidney-shape of these appendages is a key distinguishing feature of this species.[3]DistributionH. auricula is one of ten species of Haliclystus found in the Northern hemisphere.[2] It is very sensitive to pollution. The populations along the British coastline are in decline.[5]HabitatThis species lives in shallow water that has adequate circulation on marine eelgrass and other algae.[3] H. auricula is able to move location by attaching a specialised tentacle to the substrate as an anchor, detaching its base and 'cartwheeling' into the new position.[4] LifecycleThis species reproduces by sexual means. H. auricula is most abundant in a given location in midsummer.[5] Like all stalked jellyfish, a single H. auricula individual is believed to live for only one year.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web | title = Natural England - Haliclystus auricula - Kaleidoscope jellyfish | url = http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/biodiversity/iyb/nameaspeciescompetition/Haliclystusauricula.aspx | accessdate = 1 August 2010 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120312124846/http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/biodiversity/iyb/nameaspeciescompetition/Haliclystusauricula.aspx | archivedate = 12 March 2012 | df = dmy-all }} 2. ^{{cite journal | last1 = Miranda | first1 = Lucília S. | last2 = Morandini | first2 = André C. | last3 = Marques | first3 = Antonio C. | title = Taxonomic review of Haliclystus antarcticus Pfeffer, 1889 (Stauromedusae, Staurozoa, Cnidaria), with remarks on the genus Haliclystus Clark, 1863 | journal = Polar Biology | volume = 32 | pages = 1507 | year = 2009 | doi = 10.1007/s00300-009-0648-8 | issue = 10}} 3. ^1 Collins, Allen G.
