Have you ever noticed that aquarium jellyfish are always kept in round tanks? Theyโre called kreisel tanks and theyโre designed to keep a current flowing so the jellies can swim freely without getting stuck in any corners or filters. #DailyJelly
Ever eat spiny lobster and wonder what it looked like as a baby? You're welcome ;)

Soooโฆthis is a snail. This species doesn't have a shell, it uses its foot as a flappy flappy & has a long mouth like an anteater. Heteropods live in the open ocean, and a friend told me they're curious & follow you around like puppies โค๏ธ #DailyJelly Vid: bit.ly/2U7FzBA
White-spotted Jellyfish going for a spin at the North Carolina Aquarium in Ft. Fisher. #DidYouKnow the brown areas of their body tissue are full of symbiotic algae that help feed the jellyfish with glucose as they photosynthesize? #DailyJelly

Found this cool #jellyfish poster this morning in a random store! Now Iโve just gotta find somewhere to hang it #MedusozoaMadness #DailyJelly
ELECTRIC JELLY! Look at this stunning creature! The red is the stomach, the hanging middle bits are the sexy sexy parts, & the muscles are so thin and delicate they bend light like a prism and shimmer an ethereal green.

Another awesome #hydrozoa from the Friday Harbor Labs dock! @hensen_corey found this Euphysa spp., which has four adorably stubby tentacles and tentacle bulbs! The red structure is the manubrium, which has the mouth at the end. #hydroids #jellies #dailyjelly

Couldnโt help getting excited about jellyfish after listening to two amazing episodes by High Seas Science and Anna Klompen, PhD ([email protected]) on Ologies!! These artworks are not new, but I am now inspired to make more! #DailyJelly #artforscience

Dear all; this place has been an amazing home for me, & I still love it dearly. But as changes continue to roil this space, I've decided to take a wait-and-see approach. I won't be posting as much. For more regular ocean content, follow here:

Never a better time than #Invertefest to share some moon jellies (Aurelia sp.)!

If you look closely you can see a bunch of baby Cassiopea jellyfish in brown and blue-- even though they're so tiny, many of these guys are over 2 months old!
