#sea jellies

[the-briny-bulletin]

Whenever I see a picture or a video of moon sea jellies I have to stop whatever I am doing and count the gonads (circle things on their bell) they all have because I know that most sea jellies are suppose to have 4 but sometimes will have fewer or more due to mutation and I like spotting the ones that have an abnormal amout of testies

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Man-of-war Fish

Olive’s wet beast fact: this little fishy has evolved to live within the extremely dangerous tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War. It is here that the fish feasts upon their gonads. Happy Pride.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

The Sea Creature of the day is the Moon Jelly!!

These absolutely beautiful creatures can essentially be found anywhere in the world and are one of the most commonly seen species of sea jelly.

A fun fact, though the immortal jellyfish is most commonly known for it, moon jellies too can revert back in their life cycle to the polyp stage if exposed to environmental stress. Through this, a single jelly can keep itself alive for a longggg time.

Moon jellyfish ! ! ! My Beloved ! ! !

Fun facts!!!

A group of sea jellies is called a Bloom !

The four hoof-shaped things you see at the top of a jelly are called 'gonads'!

The frilly tentacles you see in the middle are called 'oral arms' and is used to move the food it catches to its mouth!

Some species of jelly - such as the pink meanie - eat other jellies !

There are approx. 200 species of scyphozoa (true jellyfish)! They’re separated into 4 orders, those being: stauromedusae, coronatae, semaeostomeae, and rhizostomeae.

Hydrozoans are similar, but different. They are closely related and share a lit of similarities.

To help with this: Portuguese man o’wars and by-the-wind-sailors aren’t true jellyfish. Helmet jellies, cannonball jellies, and cauliflower jellies are true jellyfish
