🌘🌕🌒 Moon jellies are more than pretty faceless beauties—they play an irreplaceable role in the ocean food web.
🎤 Whisper Transcript (en)
⏱ 45s
"When the moon hits your eye, when you're out on a dive, that's a moon jelly. These radiant beauties are Scyphozoans, also known as true jellies. They go through phases, spending part of their lives as tiny tube-shaped polyps that stay attached to surfaces like rocks or shells. When they mature into their free-swimming medusa phase, moon jelly medusae have a uniquely lunar look. Their distinctive round bells are lined with tiny tentacles that sweep food into an inner stinging fringe. These dreamy drifters know how to go with the flow and embrace what the ocean's current brings. All the diverse animals in the ocean have an important part to play in their ecosystems, and we're part of that delicate balance, too. There's wonder in ocean life, and caring for it helps us all."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">We anchored in Tonga with thousands of these around the boat. I was afraid of them but my marine biologist friend &amp; captain of the sailboat told me their sting is almost never harmful to humans. I had no bad effects from them during some boat chores in the water.</p>
