it’s so gorgeousss 😍😍 i love siphonophores

Up close and personal with the angler siphonophore. 🎣

Siphonophores are close cousins of jellies. They’re fragile creatures composed of individual, specialized parts connected to each other in a chain. Some parts pulse and steer the colony, others stun and ingest prey. Siphonophores thrive in the midwater where there aren’t any sharp surfaces to damage their delicate bodies. MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have revealed a surprising diversity of siphonophores in Monterey Bay, and we’ve learned they’re important predators in the ocean’s depths.

We’ve discovered several remarkable new siphonophore species, including this especially cunning predator—the angler siphonophore (Erenna sirena). In a dazzling display of predatory prowess, it dangles luminescent lures that mimic crimson crustaceans and attract unsuspecting fishes (wait until the end to catch a glimpse of these). Zap! When a curious lanternfish gets too close, the siphonophore’s tentacles deliver a powerful sting and snare a meal.

omg moon jellyfish are gorgeoussss 😊 they’re so pretty and magical

Hiya! I just found Ur account cos Ur silly lil shark drawings came up on my dash and omg U seem super cool! If U want to yap, I adore jellyfish so would love to hear anything abt them! Alternatively tho you could yap about literally anything to do with marine bio and I will absolutely read lol. Anyways omg I'm sure this account is gonna be such a slay, from one ocean-obsessed INFP to another🌊💙

hiiiiii!! nice to meet u! 😊 ur account is literally so cool omg 😍🌊

jellyfish are soooo cool!! do u have a favourite type of jelly?? i think i like the atolla jellyfish or helmet jellyfish. there are a lot of jellyfish in the river where i do rowing training, they’re these brown ones, i think they’re called australian spotted jellyfish.

the cute little brown jellies and the sunrise at the rowing shed 😊

atolla jellyfishh (or deep-sea crown jellies i think) look like tiny little UFOs. they’re about 15 cm wide. they have a bioluminescent bulb that they use to disorientate and confuse predators that are threatening them, and allowing them to swim away. also they eat plankton.

there is also a type of jellyfish which is called an immortal jellyfish that can revert back to a polyp when it is physically injured as an adult, and then regrow to be genetically the same as an adult again. they do this through transdifferentiation, a process where cells that are specialised for a specific tissue can turn into a different type of cell that is specialised for another tissue. they are also reallllyyyy small, less than half a centimetre big fully grown.

anywayyy tysm for ur message!! i hope u learned something!!!

also i hope u liked my shark drawings 🙃🦈

photos my coach took at training this morning <3

i’m the girl crashing out in 7 seat :)

kind of inspired by chloe moriondo’s album ‘oyster’ 🫶🌊
