Jelly

Posted by Scott Collins (Ontario, California, United States) on 18 March 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

If you had to guess, it might be a super nova in a galaxy far away, but in fact it's a very tiny jellyfish, about half the size of a pea. I caught this one attached to the aquarium glass, searching for food that floats by. These Jellyfish spend most of their time upside-down, waiting for food to float by, but every once-in-a-while, they swim to another part of the tank.

I used a flash from the side that sort of back-lit the jellyfish, he's actually a blue-ish color, but that didn't show up in this photo.
