Nausithoe racemosa

Today’s jelly is a rather unusual one - all the photos I could find of it depict it in its benthic form (stationary on the sea floor) rather than it’s medusa stage (that which I typically show in the photos of its blog). The resulting photo is beautiful but definitely very different to the norm of the blog.

And yes jellyfish lifecycles are VERY wacky.
