An adult Nomura jellyfish can grow to a body diameter of 2 meters and weighs up to 200kg. In general, this creature possesses a massive body, 100 times the size of a normal jellyfish. They were found to grow most commonly in the waters between China and Japan.

In the early years of the 20th century, after about 40 years they often flooded Japanese waters once. But in the last few years they appear with more dense frequencies. Scientists are still unclear why Nomura jelly only spilled into Japanese waters without invading other waters.

Although Nomura's magnets are often very painful, they generally do not cause any serious damage to humans.

However, in 2009, a 10-ton Diasan Shinsho-maru fishing boat capsized off Chiba City on Honshu Island, Japan, when three fishermen on it tried to catch a net of dozens of giant Nomura jellyfish. . Three fishermen were later rescued by another fishing vessel.
