Darn!

Hmm. I don't a lot about jellies, so this is in the nature of a guess. I'm going to say the top one, 'cause it's prettier.

Also, it seems to have quite a different, general form than the others.

Wrong again. Hey this is fun, I get to tell all the E/C posters that they're wrong. Wrong I say!

[Completely useless hint: it's the one named after Agassiz]

Drat!

On a side note, there is a species of crab that lives and feeds in a jelly. We castnet the jellies to get the crabs for sheepshead bait.

Is the odd one out a Rhizostome? Because technically I dont think that is a different class.

Zetek gets the virtual star! That one is Timoides agassizii, which is from the Hydrozoa, while the others are all class Scyphozoa. Now, go sort out the marsupials from the mice and the civets from the coatimundi.

Well I blame Morpho for posting a cephalopod. Here's another one (Vampyroteuthis infernalis--literally, "vampire squid from hell"):

From here:

However, recent observations from submersibles (Hunt, 1996) and physiological measurements (Seibel et al., 1998) have shown that, despite its weak musculature, V. infernalis is capable of fairly rapid swimming using fins for underwater 'flight'. This form of swimming is similar to that used by penguins, sea turtles, sea lions, pteropods (sea butterflies) and many fishes.
