Olindias phosphorica

Olindias phosphorica is a bioluminescent hydromedusa, meaning it is a jellyfish-like hydrozoan capable of producing light. It is associated with the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic.

This hydromedusa occurs in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic. Its distribution places it in marine waters on both sides of the western Mediterranean and nearby Atlantic region.

Olindias phosphorica is notable for its complex arrangement of tentacles. Its body plan is more intricate than the simple bell-and-tentacle shape many people associate with jellyfish.

It belongs to the order Limnomedusae. Despite the order's name, Olindias phosphorica is a marine hydromedusa found in the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic.
