Periphyllopsis braueri is a red-colored jellyfish of the deep sea,[1] belonging to the order Coronatae of the phylum Cnidaria. It is one of two species in the genus Periphyllopsis. It has only been documented ~18 times[2] because of the depth that it resides at, and inhabits areas off the coast of Florida and Japan.[2]
