It is the most commonly encountered jellyfish along the Australian eastern coast and large swarms sometimes appear in estuarine waters. DescriptionIn Sydney waters, the jelly blubber's large bell is a creamy white or brown colour, but farther north in Australia it is usually blue.[1] The colours are derived from pigment produced by the jellyfish itself (not symbiotic algae, as in some other jellyfish).[2] There is no obvious mouth on the underside, but there are small openings on each arm, through which food is passed to the stomach.[3] The tentacles also have stinging cells that can capture tiny crustaceans and other plankton. It grows to a diameter of {{convert|30|-|45|cm|in|abbr=on}}.[3] The sting can be painful but generally poses no serious risk to humans. Distribution and habitatThis jellyfish is found in coastal parts of the Indo-Pacific. In Australia, it occurs off the coasts of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. It can also enter intertidal estuaries.[4] FoodEats mainly plankton, small fish, some crustaceans, and small particles in the ocean water.
