Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today's wet beast is: Halitrephes maasi

Olive's Wet Beast Fact: these freaks move in a way that looks like it's perfectly mimicking a firework, giving it it's common name, the Firework Jelly.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

Happy 2024 Everyone ! For the occasion here is a Halitrephes Maasi, more commonly known as the “ Firework Jelly “. I hope everyone’s year is filled with nothing but Health, Happiness and Love… and hopefully this year some amazing new creatures will be discovered in the deep sea !

thoughts on jellyfish?

I love jellyfish! I've been stung a few times actually (none have left lasting damage thankfully). If you're stung by a jellyfish, pour vinegar on the sting (which deactivates the stinging nematocysts) and then submerge the stung area in warm water or have a hot shower. The water should be HOT but not scalding. Also seek immediate medical care if it hurts a lot because the worse it hurts the more potent the venom and excessive pain could be a warning sign for a potentially dangerous allergic reaction.

My favourite species of jelly is Halitrephes maasi, or the fireworks jelly. It's an extremely rare species that's found about 1500m beneath the surface in low-oxygen areas and deepwater.

And they're stunning.

Animal of the Day!

Halitrephes Jelly (Halitrephes maasi)

(Photo from National Geographic)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- Unknown

Diet- Plankton

Cool Facts- Despite not having an official common name, the Halitrephes Jelly is lovingly called the firework jelly by the internet. Very little is known about this deep sea jelly. Found up to 1500 meters below, these jellies gather in small groups to feed on plankton blooms but are generally solitary. Specific sensors along their bodies reflect light to create a brilliant array of colors, ranging from purple to orange. 

Rating- 11/10 (Fourth of July in the bathypelagic zone.)

Convince me the ocean isn’t pure poetry! As Rachel Carson said in her 1952 National Book Award speech, “If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”

A Burst of Deep Sea Fireworks: Halitrephes Jelly | Nautilus Live

We’re starting this year with deep sea fireworks, and a spirit of exploration! When something remarkable floats by in the middle of sampling operations, our team quickly switches gears to marvel and document. The frilled tentacles of the Halitrephes maasi jelly came into view at 1225m in the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California, Mexico. Radial canals that move nutrients through the…

This has probably been discussed before but, workplaces and schools should just have a room with just sinks in there so that people can brush their teeth without having to do it in an area where someone might be taking a shit. Braces may be things of the past but I remember when students with braces needed to brush their teeth after lunch and I'll be like aren't u worried about bathroom particles in the air while u brush?? And then there are those who like to brush after every meal even when they are at work. I just think it would be nice to have a separate area.

Please tell me they already exist.

I thought I was weird, but the people I work with are weirder. Like legit, I can't say the specific incident that happened because of paranoia, but this individual did something that was stupid and weird.

Just a few minutes ago, Around 10:30 am when I wanted to post this, I deliberately looked down so that I wouldn't have to say hi to this person. The person then starts to walk slow and come my way in order to gain my attention so that I can look up and say Hello. 🙃.

I had known for a while what I wanted to do for the letter 'O'. A Nat Geo post crossed my facebook timeline with an image of the beautiful deep sea jelly, Halitrephes maasi and I instantly wanted to use it as inspiration for this letter. I had a bit of fun working out how to show translucency but with the lovely rich colours of the 'deep sea fireworks'. Deep sea marine species are a favourite of mine :3 #36daysoftype #36days_O #36days_adobe #contest #graphicdesign #letterdesign #typedesign #typography #jellyfish #halitrephesmaasi https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUp1T4jl01/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ocrtv4erpvnm

Firework Jellyfish

Fun Fact! Radial canals that move nutrients through the jelly's bell form a starburst pattern that reflects the lights of ROV [remotely operated underwater vehicle] Hercules with bright splashes of yellow and pink -- but without our lights this gelatinous beauty drifts unseen in the dark. So cool!

Scientific Name:

Halitrephes maasi

Taxonomic Classification:

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Cnidaria Subphylum: Medusozoa

Nutritional Requirement:

Jellyfish are fascinating creatures. They are made of 90-98% water, yet they float along in the ocean mating and eating meat, something they share with many other animals.

Growth and Development:

Jellies assume a plethora of shapes, colors and sizes, from the formidable, 120-foot long lion's mane (Cyanea capillata) to tiny species that grow no larger than the head of a pin. A lion's mane jelly. The fertilized eggs develop and hatch through the female's mouth into a swarm of swimming jelly larvae called planulae.

Behavior:

It’d be easy just to sit there and watch the jellyfish moving back and forth, it’s that mesmerizing. So many creatures within the ocean’s depths have a type of beauty that’s easy to fall for and just watch incessantly but it can’t ever be denied that a lot of them are inherently dangerous. Jellyfish for example can be toxic and extremely dangerous if encountered in great numbers. Some aren’t all that dangerous when taken by themselves, but others are lethal when encountered.

Reproduction:

Jellyfish reproduction involves several different stages. In the adult, or medusa, stage of a jellyfish, they can reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, forming a planula. In this larval stage of jellyfish life, the planula hooks on to the bottom of a smooth rock or other structure and grows into another stage of jellyfish life, the polyp--which resembles a miniature sea anemone. During this stage, which can last for several months or years, asexual reproduction occurs

Evolutionary Origins:

unknown

Habitat:

The habitat for Jellyfish is very vast as they can live in any ocean water. With over 2,000 species out there they have been able to find plenty of locations where they can thrive. Some species live in the cold Arctic water and others live in the warm tropical waters
