For example, large Cyanea's are deep red and purple, while the smaller ones are a lighter, yellowish brown colour.
Cyanea is one of the most common jelly fishes on the Pacific West Coast known for stinging.
Along with being a predator Cyanea is also found to be prey for such organisms as scyphomedusae, as well as various sea birds, turtles and fishes.

This specimen of the Blue Jellyfish, Cyanea lamarckii, was washed ashore on the Isle of Man with half a dozen Moon Jellyfish, Aurelia aurita.
A jellyfish was discovered alive in a rockpool on Worm's Head, the "wurm"-shaped rock island connected at low tide by a causeway to the western end of the Gower peninsular at the southern end of Rhossili Bay in south Wales.
There was also a small (25 cm across) Cyanea which was bright blue, it could have been Cyanea lamarcki due to its size, colour and lack of sting (I brushed past it whilst swimming).

Cyanea resembles the egg-yolk jelly (Phacellophora), but has a bell margin divided into 8 lobes (rather than 16), with 8 rhopalia and 8 clusters of up to 150 tentacles each.
The seemingly tangled oral arms are short and compact, with the tentacles extending much longer.

The study focused especially on the jellyfish Cyanea capillata and the sea anemones Bolecera tuediae, Adamsia carciniopados and Metridium senile.
Interesting new observations were the high PLA2 activity in the jellyfish Cyanea capillata, especially in its tentacles (n = 6, mean = 120, range = 76-197 U/mg) and the high PLA2 activity in Porifera, especially in Phakellia sp.
Especially successful was the collection of the Cnidarian species including Cyanea capillata and several Poriferan species, and the identification of high levels of PLA2 activity in these animals.

After Mayer's work most specialist have agreed upon the synonymy of C. arctica with C. capillata, albeit Gilbert Ranson, when reporting in 1945 on the scyphomedusae of Prince Albert Grimaldi's expeditions kept them separate.
Today, however, most specialists consider C. arctica to be a variety or subspecies of C. capillata.

Members of the phylum Cnidaria are the lowest extant organisms to possess a nervous system and are the first that are known to contain cells that produce action potentials carried exclusively by Na ions.
A cDNA encoding a 198-kDa protein with high sequence identity to known Na channels was isolated from the scyphozoan jellyfish Cyanea capillata.
The similarity between this and other Na channels is greatest in the transmembrane segments and the putative pore region and less so in the cytoplasmic loops that link the four domains of the protein.

Newly released ephyrae of the scyphomedusa Cyanea capillata did not grow on either Artemia nauplii or copepod dominated mixed zooplankton, but grew with an average rate of 16.5 % day—1 (maximum of 30.6 % day—1) with a ctenophore as food.
The two first food types did not generate medusae with normal development of tentacles and oral arms over a seven-week period, whereas the ctenophore food did.

Drymonema is in the same family and resembles the lions's mane jellyfish, Cyanea capillata.
It is distinguished from Cyanea by: (1) the tentacles arise not in clusters, but from a wide annular zone in the subumbrella, (2) the presence of 16 dichotomously branched radial canals, and (3) the radial furrows of the exumbrella.
The umbrella is flatly rounded and shield shaped.

Ces tentacules sont pourvus de nématocystes dont le venin est extrêmement toxique et c’est pour cette raison que la Cyanea capillata n’a pas vraiment de prédateur car si un animal ose la manger il court le risque d’en mourir ou d’en souffrir grandement.
