Jellyfish - Neoturris pileata

Medusae of the hydrozoan Neoturris pileata (Anthoathecata - Pandeiidae) are identifiable by their bell-shaped umbrella, higher than wide, with variable solid apical projection, and also by the structure of the gonad with its inwardly directed horizontal folds and isolated interradial pits.

This species occurs in the North Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Philippines in the Pacific Ocean.
