unusual sighting of a purple striped sea nettle jelly in the Oakland harbor tidal canal, 10/5/23. this species is usually only seen live along the Pacific coast so I was taken completely by surprise when we saw it in the east bay!

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

It's November 3rd, 🎐 World Jellyfish Day! On this day, we honor and celebrate those slimy invertebrates that have been living on this planet for at least 505 million years. In 2014, a group of enthusiastic marine biologists instituted this special day to express their admiration for the longevity and simplicity of these strange, yet beautiful creatures. The largest populations of Jellyfish live in the southern hemisphere. This day was chosen to be World Jellyfish Day as there it's now springtime, the season when Jellyfish begin to migrate to the northern hemisphere.

There are about 350 different Jellyfish species in existence around the globe. Despite its name, the Jellyfish isn’t really a fish – as an invertebrate, by definition, it doesn't have a backbone. In fact, a Jellyfish doesn’t have gills, bones, blood, a brain, or a heart, either. What it does have is water – it’s 95% water. It absorbs oxygen through its skin. A Jellyfish swims by contracting and relaxing the muscles around its body or “bell.” Its tentacles contain stingers, which it uses to protect itself from predators.

Jellyfish exhibit a wide range of vibrant colors, including pink, yellow, blue, and purple. Most are also luminescent, which makes them especially beautiful. The Flower Hat, Cannonball, Diplulmaris Antarctica, Lion’s Mane, Blue, Moon, Purple-Striped, White-Spotted, and Black Sea Nettle Jellyfish are among the most beautiful and most popular Jellyfish. The Lion’s Mane is also the largest, capable of reaching 40 meters in length.

If you see a Jellyfish in the sea, please leave it alone. It can eventually be food for a number of marine animals such as fish and turtles and until then can hide and protect small fish with its stinging tentacles. You definitely want to avoid the tentacles! I speak from experience. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

purple striped jellies

im back :) took a break for a while cuz i was feeling sick but i am back to force my special interests upon everyone muahahahhaa

this is the purple striped jelly or the purple striped sea nettle :>

These guys fall into the sea nettle category or genus but they generally stay in areas near continental shelfs, rather than swarming and washing up on shore like a lot of other sea nettles do (this means you probably wouldn't have to worry about them at the beach!)

their tentacles (not the oral arms - those are the squiggly lookin inside bits that have painful stinging cells) can reach up to 70 feet!

in addition, they have a symbiotic (mutually helpful) relationship with juvenille slender crabs! these crabs hang around in the jelly's tentacles as the jelly travels until the lil crab is ready to drop somewhere and live on the ocean floor.

sadly they are super delicate and some dont even live as long as a year, especially if theyre damaged :(

#jellyfish #special interest #theyre so pretty i actually love them a lot #purple striped jelly

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

youtube

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...)

youtube

(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

Need more ice and fire after last night? We've got an encore with our black sea nettles and purple-striped jellies! No dragons though.

We’re very excited to display these two species together—with overlapping ranges in the wild, this gelatinous song of ice and fire is being sung in our exhibit hall once again! It’s been years of diligent work on the part of our jelly aquarists to raise black sea nettles (Chrysaora achlyos) and purple-striped jellies (Chrysoara colorata) from scratch behind the scenes. Thanks jelly aquarists!
