Etymology
The genus name, Atolla, is derived from the word atoll.Haeckel, E. (1880). Das System der Acraspeden. 2te Hälfte des Systems der Medusen. Acht Nachträge zur Vervollständigung des Systems. Denkschriften der Medicinisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft zu Jena. 2: 488 The specific epithet was given in honor of Jeff Reynolds, a volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium who guarded a beached whale overnight at Del Monte beach. Even though it’s a Atolla, it lacks the long trailing tentacle that most Atolla have.Matsumoto, G. I.; Christianson, L. M.; Robison, B. H.; Haddock, S. H. D.; Johnson, S. B. (2022).
