The Atolla jellyfish(Atolla wyvillei) also known as the Coronate medusa, is a species of deep-sea crown jellyfish. It typically has 22 marginal tentacles and one hypertrophied tentacle which is larger than the rest.This long trailing tentacle is thought to facilitate prey capture. This species is bioluminescent. When attacked, it will launch a series of flashes, whose function is to draw predators who will be more interested in the attacker than itself. This has earned the animal the nickname “alarm jellyfish”
