The term jellyfish does not correspond to a biological "unit" so are not in a genus. So far two phyla have been shown, Cnidaria and Ctenophora, so here is a third, a member of the Phylum Chordata (which includes the vertebrates so our cousins), salps shot in Hawaii. There are a few Arthropoda getting a ride on them as well.
these are so beautiful and fascinating
