The greatest threat against the moon jellyfish
in its medusa stage is the lion´s
mane jellyfish - detected often when the moon jellyfish feels the
stinging tentacles against the outer parts of its "umbrella". In the middle
of its "umbrella" where there are no nerves, it seems as though the moon
jellyfish does not have any feelings. When the moon jellyfish detects
a lion´s mane jellyfish, it usually will swim upwards.
Moon jellyfish are global and are common along most coasts.

This 1,5 cm long copepod finds it congenial on and in the jellyfish
because it can both eat the medusae and its food. Moreover they
get transported around on the medusae and recieve protection from
their enemies.
