Where do cauliflower jellyfish live?

Cauliflower jellyfish, also known as Mastigias papua, primarily inhabit warm, shallow coastal waters, particularly in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are often found in lagoons, coral reefs, and around islands, where they thrive in nutrient-rich environments. These jellyfish can sometimes be observed in large numbers, forming blooms that can attract various marine life.
