A new record of an alien jellyfish from the Levantine coast of Turkey - Cassiopea andromeda (Forsskål, 1775) (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa: Rhizostomea)

To date, three alien scyphozoan species were reported from the Eastern Mediterranean, but only one, Rhopilema nomadica, was reported from the Turkish coast. Recently, a second alien scyphozoan, Cassiopea andromeda, was collected on 20 July 2005 in Iskenderun Bay, SE Turkey.
