Species
According to the World Register of Marine Species, this genus includes the following species:[2]
- Turritopsis chevalense (Thorneley, 1904) – species inquirenda
- Turritopsis dohrnii (Weismann, 1883) also known as the "Benjamin Button jellyfish", or the "immortal jellyfish". It can reverse its life cycle and transform itself back to a polyp.[3]
- Turritopsis fascicularis Fraser, 1943
- Turritopsis lata Lendenfeld, 1884
- Turritopsis minor (Nutting, 1905)
- Turritopsis nutricula McCrady, 1857 (several separate species, including the "immortal jellyfish", were formerly classified as T. nutricula)[4]
- Turritopsis pacifica Maas, 1909
- Turritopsis pleurostoma (Péron & Lesueur, 1809) – species inquirenda
- Turritopsis polycirrha (Keferstein, 1862)
- Turritopsis rubra Farquhar, 1895
gollark: `multishell` manages its coroutines internally, and you can't really touch them in a useful way.
gollark: It uses `parallel` as its top level event loop thing to run rednet.run and shell at the same time, but you can't add your own stuff to that.
gollark: I think a major problem with CraftOS is that it's not designed very extensibly, to be honest.
gollark: I should probably readd Polychoron's event preprocessor thing.
gollark: Some bits of the architecture are not great, but it's easy to run your own stuff on top of it.
