Comments

Often unseen because of its transparent skin, perhaps an infrequent traveler from across the Pacific, uncommon or at home in the open ocean, this jellyfish is rare to the Great Barrier Reef and unknown. Where do they go and grow? Can it create light & what does it feel like? Why does this jellyfish turn itself inside out?
