The Olindias Formosa, also known as the Flower Hat Jellyfish
This stunning fluorescent jelly has a translucent bell with dark, opaque pinstripes. Lustrous, multicolored, fluorescent-tipped tentacles trail from its bell, while others are coiled up close to their bodies, making them appear short. Flower hat jellies are nocturnal and remain on or close to the sea bottom during the day. They are found off of southern Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. A part of their life cycle has recently been observed for the first time. |
