Chrysaora lactea is a species of sea nettle in the family Pelagiidae.[1] This jellyfish has a bell diameter of up to 25 cm (10 in),[2] and it is native to the Atlantic coast of South America. It has also been reported from the Caribbean region, but genetic studies indicate that this population is closer to C. chesapeakei. A comprehensive taxonomic review is necessary to resolve this matter.[3]
