Planktonic associations between medusae (classes Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa) and epifaunal crustaceans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Jellyfish are known to carry various epibionts, including many of the subphylum Crustacea. However, the associations between gelatinous zooplankton and other invertebrates have been chronically overlooked.

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2007 Polyps of Scyphozoa have a cup-shaped body. At one end is the mouth opening surrounded by tentacles, at the other end is an attachment disc. The body wall consists of two tissue layers, the ectoderm and the endoderm, which are separated by an extracellular matrix, the mesoglea.

Medusan Morphospace: Phylogenetic Constraints, Biomechanical Solutions, and Ecological Consequences [PDF]
, 2008 Medusae were the earliest animals to evolve muscle-powered swimming in the seas. Although medusae have achieved diverse and prominent ecological roles throughout the world\u27s oceans, we argue that the primitive organization of cnidarian muscle tissue ...
