Craterolophus convolvulus - The Stauromedusae order is made up of various stalked jellyfish. There are about 50 known species within this order. Stalked jellyfish are commonly found along undisturbed coastal rocky areas in the northern regions of Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Compared to other jellyfish, species of the Stauromedusae order spend their lives attached to rocks or algae in an inverted position; tentacles up, umbrella down. Stalked jellyfish do not swim, but are able to move about in the same slow manner as sea anemones.
