Purple Jellyfish

(c) Herb Segars


Purple Jellyfish can grow to 40 cm across. When first discovered, this type of jellyfish glowed in the dark. This was because it feeds on dinoflagellates. They have only been seen on the california coastline and haven't been spotted in any other location in the world. Purple Jellyfish have only a few catch tentacles trailing from its bell and five feeding tentacles surrounding its mouth.
