Though spotting these ghostly giants is rare, they are known to live in the midnight (bathypelagic) zone. There is little to no shelter in this area and other fish have been observed taking refuge amid the jellies long voluminous ribbon like tentacles, that can get up to 33 feet long
Love to sea it 🌊

Sorry about the double patreon post, I hate emailing people unnecessarily. The funny thing is it was a post about exactly that—accidentally sending too many emails! I thought I had an option to post it without sending but guess not. Mmm learning sucks sometimes.

Anyways, digitally coloring this pretty jelly today as part of a patreon giveaway! Stygiomedusa gigantea. The process/step by step for each of these giveaway drawings is also included (patreon-only, though).

Jellyfish question what are your thoughts on Stygiomedusa gigantea?
Oop, I meant to answer this earlier but I had to spend time with family so that was a nope ;w;
Anyways! I haven't really heard much about the Stygiomedusa gigantea since someone last sent me a post about its sighting, but I personally think it's a posterchild of jellyfish elegance.
Large, velvety... beige. It's pretty unique, though perhaps in different lighting conditions it'd look more red 🤔...?
I haven't done as much research on this species as I would've done for others, but that's my general impression of the jelly !!

Stygiomedusa gigantea, commonly known as the giant phantom jelly is a part of the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, Stygiomedusa. This is in the Ulmaridae family. It can't actually sting you as its—30-foot-long—”mouth arms” are just there to trap prey rather than sting them.
This ghostly giant is a rare sight.
MBARI's ROVs have logged thousands of dives, yet we have only seen this spectacular species nine times. The first specimen of the giant phantom jelly was collected in 1899, but it was not until 60 years later that scientists recognized this as a new species.
Had to add this on for perspective.
