Awesome photograph of a Porpita porpita aka The Blue Button Jellyfish. Although looks similar to a jellyfish, each apparent individual is actually a colony of hydrozoan polyps. The blue button is a Chondrophore, which is a group of cnidarians. The chondrophores are similar to the better-known siphonophores, which includes the Portuguese Man o' War.
