I love atolla jellies. Look at this little guy swim
#The atolla wyvellei has an atrophied tentacle
#I haven't seen concrete information about what it does but answers have ranged from
#Passive food catching to catching.... Mates.
#It still has nematocysts on them so I wonder what they're for...
#The atolla reynoldsi does not have this atrophied tentacle so
#Fun
#Theres also the atolla chuni but idk what it's all about
#Anyways it's heralded as looking like some weird space ship or whatever but tbh
#I like the idea of it being a sea flower
#MBARI (I think) referred to it as a sea daisy
#And I like that interpretation more
#Its so pretty
#There hasn't been any documentation on how painful atolla stings are but considering people got a lot of specimens to the surface...-
#-surely they can't be that bad right?
#I mean they don't eat vertebrates like Box jellies so I can't imagine they have strong venom
#Maybe someone should get on that
#mun rambles
#jellyfish
#Did a whole lot of jellyfish reading last night about the atolla jelly
#It was nice. There was some nice things written about it
