  Jellyfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Each tentacle is covered with stinging cells (cnidocytes) that can stun or kill other animals: most jellyfish use them to secure prey or as a defense mechanism.
To compensate for its lack of basic sensory organs and a brain, the jellyfish exploits its nervous system and rhopalia to perceive stimuli, such as light or odor, and orchestrate expedient responses.

The protein phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin induces head and foot formation in buds of Cassiopea andromeda (Rhizostomae, Scyphozoa).
These compounds including methionine, homocysteine, trigonelline, nicotinic acid and cycloleucine are shown to also interfere with the initiation of the processes which finally lead to head and foot formation in buds of Cassiopea andromeda.

They ranged from about 18cm-24cm across the 'bell' and were mostly translucent, but for a dark blue ring round their rim.
They look like Rhizostomae, which lack the long hairlike stinging tentacles of other jellies.
I have read that all cnidarians have nematocysts; I do not know whether the Rhizostomae have lost theirs secondarily, whether their 'harpoons' are too small to sting a human, or whether the stingers of dead jellyfish simply don't work.

ABSTRACT The polyps of Cassiopea andromeda produce spindle shaped, freely swimming buds which do not develop a head (a mouth opening surrounded by tentacles) and a foot (a sticky plate at the opposite end) until settlement to a suited substrate.

This life cycle characterizes the orders Semaeostomae, Coronata, and Rhizostomae.
Scyphopolyps in this group are called scyphistomae; in Aurelia, as in many (but not all) scyphozoans, they are solitary, but clonal (budding other polyps).

I met with two large Medusae (Rhizostomae), which are extremely numerous in the Mediterranean-the blue Pilema pulmo, and the golden-brown Cotylorhyiza tuberculata; in the Indian seas.
I regretted extremely being unable to fish up and examine the remarkable social Medusae or Siphonophorae.
