Abstract
The opening of the Suez Canal unintentionally initiated an important event - the joining of two biogeographical provinces. For over 120 years, Red Sea species, migrating through the canal, have been colonizing the Mediterranean. The recent proliferation of a Red Sea jellyfish along the Levant coast highlights the profound changes in the indigenous biota.
