#2 - random jellyfish

Alrightyyyyy, so today we have 2 jellies coming up!

Sea gooseberries.

These are lil baby blobs about the size of your fingertip, they're comb jellies. If you see them on the beach you gotta have been looking closely cos they basically just resemble a water droplet.

However if you drop them in water they have beautiful feathery tentices that trail behind them, they don't sting humans, instead their sticky tenticles attatch to plankton and drag it into their 'mouths'

They move by their 'cilia' pusating (cilia are short hair-like membranes, when they pulse it causes the whole jelly to move almost like a heart beat)

However just because they're cute lil gelatinous globs doesn't mean they spend all their time in warm sunny waters, at night they travel up to the surface but as the sun rises they swim back down to as deep as 150 meters and just float about waiting to eat or be eaten. I come across them occasionally and we'll make a daily migration down to the depths together, they're really beautiful, their bioluminescance lights up the depths, like trailing white curtains.

Bathykorus jellyfish.

Now some people may believe that because I live underwater that I'm uneducated as far as TV and media goes. That is far from the truth: The crabs teach me about The Little Mermaid The clownfish teach me about Finding Nemo The sharks teach me about Jaws ...and the bathykorus jellyfishes teach me about Star Wars.

The bathykorus are the Darth Vaders of the sea, and they look slightly intimidating but I love them all the same. They're absolutely tiny, even smaller than the sea gooseberries, and transparent blue with itty bitty little tenticles.

I get to see them whenever I venture up near Greenland and Canada and go deep sea diving, generally around 1000-2000 metres because they like it cold and dark where they can flit about pretending to be in the deepest depths of space. Humans keep going on about how no one's ever actually sen them 'in situ' due to the extreme depths (that means 'where they live') but in my opinion, that's just a skill issue :)

ooc: guys lemme know if you wanna get tagged in the monthly yaps :3
