Description
Another beauty from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The scientific name for the moon jellyfish is Aurelia aurita.
"It feeds by collecting medusae, plankton, and mollusks with its tentacles, and bringing them into its body for digestion. It is capable of only limited motion, and drifts with the current, even when swimming."
Please zoom.
