Original - Also known as the Australian spotted jellyfish or Phyllorhiza punctata, the white-spotted jellyfish is native to the southwestern Pacific, where it feeds primarily on various snail species. P. punctata average 45-50 cm in bell diameter but grow to larger sizes in the Gulf of Mexico, where they have become an invasive species that is a potential threat to shrimp and fish populations.
Edit - Without vertebrates.
