Cyanea barkeri is a species of true jellyfish in the family Cyaneidae. It has been found in waters off the coast of Australia.
Etymology
The specific epithet, barkeri, was given in honor of Paul Barker, the lifeguard supervisor of the Mackay Region in 2010, and his brother, Dave Barker.[1] The generic name, Cyanea, is derived from the Latin cyaneus, meaning "deep or dark blue in color".
