Drymonema larsoni (also known as the "pink meanie") is a species of jellyfish belonging to the class Scyphozoa. Following a mass sighting in 2000 in the Gulf of Mexico, the species and the rest of its genus were put in their own family, a new subset of the true jellyfish. [1] They were originally thought to be a member of the same family as the lion's mane jellyfish, Cyanea capillata Linnaeus, but they were shown to have morphological and molecular differences. [2] Drymonema larsoni prey heavily upon jellyfish species belonging to the genus Aurelia, and they play an important role in controlling the population of these species.[3]
