Cotylorhiza tuberculata is a species of jellyfish, of the phylum Cnidaria, also known as the Mediterranean jellyfish, Mediterranean jelly or fried egg jellyfish. It is commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and Adriatic Sea. It can reach 40cm in diameter, but is usually less than 17cm wide. It seems that this jellyfish’s sting has very little or no effect on humans.
