jellyfish westward ho Moon jellyfish are 95% water: Moon Jellyfish do not possess brain, heart, blood, head, eyes or ears. They are 95% water and are basically a floating mouth and digestive system. They have a complex set of nerves that respond to stimuli, but they cannot think. They do not possess any lungs, gills or any tracheal system, and receive oxygen simply by diffusion through a thin membrane. As they have a large bell shaped body, the surface area available for diffusion is also large.
