Convergent evolution baby!
It is a species that only preys on jellyfish and their relatives.
What is unique about it is that it is a nympe parasite of a specific type of jellyfish called Zanclea - which are themselves a type of symbiont of corals, clams and especially Bryozoa
a very weird and unexplored of the true jellyfish

I BRELGIUMING LOVE PHYLLIROE
convergent evolution! Think about dolphins, pretty fish shaped, huh? itโs because if you have a rear paddle or tail to propel you and any number of limbs to stabilize you, fish shape is best shape. Of course, phylliroe lacks the limbsโฆ so it uses itโs head, lmao.

Maybe Phylliroe will eventually evolve wing-like limbs like Sea Angels?

unessecary tbh, they fill a pelagic predator niche, where developed fins for propulsion are inferior to a developed tail and simple little stabilizer fins. look at tuna and sharks, dirt simple single pair of fins, much like the head-fin of a phylliroe, just closer to the center of mass. im unsure how strong the evolutionairy pressure is to move the fins to the center of mass, but it canโt be that strong.

Is there a reason ichtyosaurs kept their hind flippers but cetacians didnโt?
