Aurelia aurita

“Three moon jellyfishes (Aurelia aurita) captured by a lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) in Rågårdsdal, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. In spring when the lion's manes are new and growing, they are voracious. You often see them catch 2-4 moon jellies and feed on them one by one. The lion's manes seem to favor attaching themselves to the underside of the moon jellies when they feed on them. These jellyfishes are about 12 cm (4.7 in) each in diameter. Photo taken shortly after the rain from a jetty in a shadowy and deep part of the fjord, with the sun just glancing in from the side.” - via Wikimedia Commons

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Ghost, phantom, or spirit? The giant phantom jelly is none of those things! Stygiomedusa gigantea is most commonly found at depths of 6,665 m (21,867 ft), making it a rare and haunting sight; so rare, in fact, that it's only been spotted 114 times in the last 110 years. Not much is known about this species, save that it's one of the largest invertebrate predators of the deep, reaching up to 1 m (3.3 ft) across and 10 m (33 ft) in length!

Малоизученная яркая медуза Поралия рыжеватая. The little-studied bright jellyfish Poralia rufous.

Поралия относится к роду медуз из семейства ульмаридовых. Это монотипический род, содержащий один вид -Поралия рыжеватая. Данная медуза имеет колокольчик около 9 см (3,5 дюйма) в диаметре с восемью щупальцами в центре и с 30 тонкими тонкими придатками по внешней стороне диска . При движении Поралия может принимать волнообразную форму, она то расправит свой колокол, пока он не станет совершенно плоским, или сомкнет его, пока он не станет похож на большой воздушный шар. Колокол медузы рыжего, красного или розового цвета, иногда издалека кажется коричневым.

Поралия - медуза пелагическая и обитает на большой глубине в большинстве океанов мира. Эта медуза очень хрупкая, и большинство поднятых для изучения экземпляров были повреждены.

Poralia belongs to the genus of jellyfish of the Ulmaridae family. It is a monotypic genus containing one species, Poralia rufous. This jellyfish has a bell about 9 cm (3.5 in) in diameter with eight tentacles in the center and 30 thin, spindly appendages on the outside of the disc. When moving, Poralia can take on a wave-like shape, either spreading out its bell until it becomes completely flat, or closing it until it looks like a large balloon. The bell of the jellyfish is red, red or pink in color, sometimes appearing brown from a distance. Poralia is a pelagic jellyfish and lives at great depths in most of the world's oceans. This jellyfish is very fragile, and most specimens raised for study were damaged.
