According to the Telegraph, Drymonema dalmatinum is one of the world's rarest jellyfish and they often live in Mediterranean waters. Since 1945, scientists have collected very little information about this animal. They are suspecting the possibility of re-exported jellyfish due to the effects of global warming.

The German scientist, Ernst Haeckel, was the first to discover a colorful-looking jellyfish in 1880 off Dalmatia, Croatia. Later, people saw them a few times and information about this jellyfish almost disappeared after World War II.

Some experts say that Drymonema dalmatinum has two distinct stages in life. The first stage they live on the sea floor, while the second stage they rise to the sea surface. The newly encountered jellyfish may have lived for tens of years on the seabed and after the development is complete, it just floats to the surface.
