Description
Captured 8/3/11, on my third visit to the beautiful Aquarium of the Pacific in beautiful Long Beach, California.
Most ZOOM worthy.
I can't believe I did this without a tripod.
SEA JELLIES are 90 percent water and have no brain, eyes, heart, or bones. Despite their simple design, the Aquarium's sea jellies require a complex environment to thrive. Round tanks called kreisels are designed to keep water flowing in a circle so the animals do not become caught on the sides of the exhibit. The jellies are monitored daily and are fed brine shrimp.
Pozegnanie, thankx for popping in, and for any and all favs and laudatory comments.

Jellyfish are always fascinating - the Monterey Bay Aquarium had a great jellyfish exhibit quite a few years ago that was amazing. Excellent shot...

Marvelous catch Harry! I went to the aquarium in Durban without my tripod and it wasn't very successful!

What an amazing body shape this one (is it just one?) has...I love their texture, and the soft glowing colour. You did really well here, I can't believe you didn't use a tripod either!
