The "pink meanie" and its Mediterranean cousin represent a new family of jellyfish altogether, the first new family of jellies identified since 1921, according to The Biological Bulletin.

Jellyfish are the most abundant denizens of marine waters. They are found in oceans across the planet, from the coldest freezing waters of the Arctic oceans, to the warm, temperate waters of the tropical oceans.
