Underneath the bells of these jellyfish are eight spongy arms, the tips of which have distinctive, octopus leg-like appendages. Organisms known as zooxanthellae live inside these jellyfish in a symbiotic relationship, providing energy to the jellyfish through photosynthesis. These jellyfish prefer to live in warm ocean bays with calm tides.
