Moon jelly identification features include which description?

• A. Provide habitat near coast
• B. Protected, avoid disturbing nests
• C. Translucent bell with horseshoe gonads
• D. Avoid sudden moves, keep steady course

Answer: (C)

Recognizing moon jellies comes down to visible physical features. They have a translucent, see-through bell (umbrella), and you can often spot four horseshoe-shaped gonads inside the bell. This combination of a clear bell with the distinctive internal horseshoe shapes is the telltale identifying feature. The other options describe habitat, nesting protection, or paddling safety—not appearance—so they don’t help differentiate moon jellies from other jelly species.
