Giant Bell Jelly (Scrippsia Pacifica)

Scrippsia is occasionally found at the surface in Monterey Bay, often in poor condition, but is more an inhabitant of deep, offshore waters.  The giant bell jelly is never found in the shallow nearshore habitats favored by Polyorchis.  It has been seen from Baja California to northern California.
