Crown jellyfishes are the six families of true jellyfish that belong to the order Coronatae.[1][2] They are distinguished from other jellyfish by the presence of a deep groove running around the umbrella, giving them the crown shape from which they take their name. Many of the species in the order inhabit deep sea environments.[3]
