Monty Graham of USF has had a new species of jellyfish named after him due to his renowned expertise. The Aurelia montyi is one of 28 species also known as “moon jellies,” because their bell resembles a full moon. The new species was found off Dauphin Island, Alabama.
"What a very cool honor this is…to have a species named for me is the kindest and most meaningful gesture from other scientists,” Graham said. “This one is extra special because it is a species that I've spent many years trying to know, but never expected we'd have the same name!"
