Subphylum-Medusozoa or Jellyfish (scientific name Cnidaria Scyphozoa Aurelia) are gelatinous, free-swimming creatures common throughout all oceans

of the world. On the show, Jellyfish are featured very prominently. Jellyfish Fields, a major location in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, is home to over 4,000,000 jellyfish. The hunting and catching of jellyfish, known as Jellyfishing, is a popular hobby among sea folk, most notably SpongeBob and Patrick. It is similar to butterfly catching and is typically done only for fun/sport, with the jellyfish being released unharmed. Jellyfish appear in almost all SpongeBob video games, typically as basic enemies. They are usually caught using Jellyfish Nets.

Jellyfish in SpongeBob SquarePants are portrayed in a stereotypically cartoonish manner, and are typically pink in color. In the same manner as snails are likened to cats and worms are likened to dogs, Jellyfish display many qualities of bees . They produce edible jelly in the same manner bees produce honey, and their stings have similar effects to those of bees, often causing swollen bumps (in real life, a jellyfish's sting can range from mild to life-threatening). They also make a buzzing sound just like bees, are very small compared to main characters. Since Bikini Bottomites are stated to be only smaller than a humans foot shown in spongebob squarepants the movie, this would make jellyfish almost microscopic.
