Atolla bairdii

Atolla bairdii is a species of true jellyfish in the family Atollidae. It is known from type specimens found in the north Pacific Ocean.

Etymology

The genus name, Atolla, is derived from the word atoll. The specific epithet was given in honor of Jeff Reynolds, a volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium who guarded a beached whale overnight at Del Monte beach. Even though it's an Atolla, it lacks the long trailing tentacle that most Atolla have.
