'''Jellyfish''' are a kind of translucent inverterbrate [[animal]] that live in the [[ocean]]. Despite haveing '[[fish]]' in their name, Jellyfish are not actually fish, they are members of the [[phylum]] [[Cnidaria]], along with [[corals]], [[hydras]], and [[sea anemone]]s, and the class [[Scyphozoa]].  To avoid confusion, they have also been called 'Sea Jellies'. or just 'Jellies'. Jellyfish are often consumed in Asian countries, especially dried and reconstituted.  Jellyfish salad is considered a [[Vietnam|Vietnamese]] delicacy.

Jellyfish can survive in [[oxygen]]-poor water because they have a [[symbiosis | symbiotic]] relationship with [[algae]], which produce oxygen inside the jellyfish.  <ref>http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artnov04macro/kfjellyfish.html</ref>
