Jellyfish identification reddit my beloved (<- and JellyfishWarehouse my beloved)

#I'm honestly not the best at differentiating between different species but it's ok :) #tbh i'm not 100% sure that the jellyfish was a chrysaora pacifica bc there's usually some reddish pigment in there #but #it's the closest one we've got and the most popular ones kept in aquariums #someone else mentioned the chrysaora quinqincirreha(?) and that seems like a likely option #though usually it is ghostly white and doesn't have the same striking stripes that the image does #it reminds me more of the sea nettles that are found around parts of Africa but I haven't done enough research on them to be 100% sure #chrysaora pseudocelata is such a funny name to me tho #um #anyways I should rly learn how to differentiate octants in a jellyfish #because that's like the number 1 way to differentiate between species #they are radially symmetrical so they have 8 parts #number of tentacles is surprisingly important too #the chrysaora pacifica (japanese sea nettle) has 40 tentacles while the chrysaora melanaster (northern sea nettle) has 24 #the difference is also pretty staggering with the closely related chrysaora achlyos and chrysaora colorata (black sea nettle and purple str- #-iped sea nettle respectively). can't remember which one has more but my bet is on the c. achlyos #mun rambles #jellyfish #chrysaora pacifica

Pelagic magic: The purple-striped jelly Chrysaora colorata

Photo: Joe Platko

Local beachgoers and divers have seen many of these jellies in recent weeks—these individuals were found along Cannery Row this week!

Purple-stripes are magnificent magenta medusivores, filling their bellies with jellies and other gelatinous gastronomy ingested on the go—with a casserole of planktonic crustaceans for dessert.

Fueled by this diverse diet, C. colorata can grow to gargantuan proportions—nearly 3 feet wide and over a dozen feet long for the reigning purple champions!

Many of the purple-stripes we've seen recently are missing some or all of their frilly-mouth arms—a potential sign of a leatherback sea turtle attack! These jellies have been through a *lot* by the time they reach the shoreline...

The lifecycle of the purple-striped jelly was discovered by our very own jelly aquarists back in the mid-90s (shoutout to Freya Sommer, now Dive Safety Officer at Hopkins Marine Station!) and many of the C. colorata you’ve seen at the Aquarium over the years are home-grown!

Found from Southern California north to Canada, there’s some evidence they may be shifting their range to coolers waters—you can help scientists track them on iNaturalist and jellywatch.org! 

Thanks again to Joe, David and Phil for the photos, and thank you Ocean for sharing these majestic mauve marvels with us! Here's some more C. colorata content to close this post out: Home-grown purple-striped jellies at the Aquarium!

Sciartober Day 7: For the prompt, invertebrate, a couple of purple-striped sea jellies (Chrysaora colorata). Spent too much time reading last night, so I didn’t have a lot of time to spend on this piece. Luckily, I’ve drawn quite a few jellies at this point so the process was relatively quick and painless. Pentel brushpen, Daiso brushpen, and Pigma Micron (01) on Canson mixed media paper.

Reviewing Octonauts: The Jellyfish Bloom full episode because I have an exam in two days and I don't feel like studying

Rating: 8/10

I'm just really happy about seeing an episode dedicated almost entirely to jellyfish, to be honest. It's already at least 5/10 because of that.

Even disregarding that fact though, the Octonauts is just... phenomenal at teaching kids about jellyfish.

The bloom was foreshadowed in the beginning of the episode by only showing one jellyfish. While it may be a little exaggerated, there is some truth to this. Polyps are known to clone themselves in various ways, and each polyp can produce many ephyra thanks to strobilation (This is known as having high fecundity, according to Professor Dave Explains)

The jellyfish are treated as a nuisance, but they are not unfairly demonized. Captain Barnacles expresses concern for their well-being, even as he puts himself in the line of danger to save a fellow crewmate. They may be numerous, but each one of their lives are precious.

VINEGAR. OH MY GOD PESO I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRINGING OUT URINE FOR A SECOND BUT YOU USED VINEGAR!! VINEAR!!!!!!! AHHHHH, I LOVE YOU. Anyways it's a good jellyfish plug, hehe.

also just looking at jellyfish outside of a window is very pretty. . . they are many. . .

Here are things that I think the episode fell short on, however:

The jellyfish are just normal, simplistic representations of jellyfish. They are stated to be sea nettles (I think?), but honestly the way that they are designed, they resemble hydrozoan jellyfish more (I mean, we don't even see oral arms... ORAL ARMS!!). I'm not sure how I'm feeling about the ice cream scoop-like bell, either (I know it's meant to represent the subumbrella but I don't LIKE it)

Ah well. It's a kid's show, they probably don't have the budget to give us a perfectly rendered jelly...

Jellyfish stings have an electrical sound effect. I know nematocysts sting so fast that it feels like an electric current, but it hurts me still..................................

Yeah that's pretty much it (though honestly I think Captain Barnacles was stupid for going out there without proper coverage. Boo)

Extra ramble:

Based on the design and colour of the jellies, I would presume that they are the Chrysaora colorata (Purple Striped Jellyfish), but considering this takes place in Britain they could also be the Compass jellyfish (tho that's the only jellyfish I know that lives near there haha...)

(Next up, I'm watching this compilation haha :>, maybe I'll review it too or something)

#jellyfish #mun rambles #octonauts #this is very fun #hehe #currently watching the comb jelly episode and im seething with rage #like actual rage #i haven't been this angry at a jellyfish thing since I saw Professor Dave misclassify a Nomura's Jellyfish as a lion's mane #Youtube
