Aurelia labiata is a species of Moon Jellyfish in the genus Aurelia. It is a cnidarian of the Ulmaridae family. It is known to be larger than Aurelia aurita.
Aurelia labiata typically range in the northern Pacific Ocean. Their range stretches from the west coast of California to the eastern coast of Japan. They are known to swarm in large numbers, sometimes with their relatives Aurelia aurita.
Aurelia labiata are known to be fed upon by other cnidarians such as Phacellophora camtschatica and Cyanea capillata. Like many jellyfish, they are also consumed by sea turtles which are immune to their stings.
