In 2004, MBARI researchers named a new jelly Stellamedusa ventana. Its genus, Stellamedusa, refers to the jelly’s translucent blue-white color and trailing arms, which reminded the scientists of a slow-moving meteor or shooting star, while its species name, ventana, refers to MBARI’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana. This species is commonly known as the "bumpy jelly," due to warts that cover the organism. These warts contain concentrated amounts of stinging nematocysts.
