Atolla parva
Species of jellyfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atolla parva is a species of true jellyfish in the family Atollidae.[1] It is found in the north Atlantic Ocean and in waters around New Zealand.
Etymology
The genus name, Atolla, is derived from the word atoll.[2] The specific epithet is derived from the Latin parvus, meaning "small"; this is in reference to the species' small size, with it generally not being larger than 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in diameter.[3]
