#Flower hat jellyfish

🪼Daily Cnidarian Fact:🪼

Flower Hat Jellyfish: Flower hat jellies are nocturnal and remain on or close to the sea bottom during the day. They are found off of southern Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. Although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. The adult form of the flower hat jelly only lives a few months and is typically seen from December to July, with peaks in April and May.

Found in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, the flower hat jellyfish (Olindias formosa) glides with its translucent bell and colorful tentacles, using stinging cells to capture small fish and plankton.

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the flower hat jelly!

The flower hat jelly, scientific name Olindias formosus, is a small and rare jelly known for the multicolored tentacles and luminescent display. Belonging to the hydrozoa family, the flower hat jelly is not actually a true jellyfish. The main difference between them being that true jellyfish belong to the Scyphozoa class, and have a life cycle defined by a longer period as a medusa (their adult form) whereas hydrozoans have a lifecycle primarily defined by their polyp or juvenile stages, sometimes even lacking medusa forms, a pattern that can once again be found in the flower hat jelly's life cycle. Their distribution is off the coastline of Japan, Korea, and countries within Oceania. Although some believe that these jelly's can also be found outside of Argentina, and Brazil, it is thought this may be a close relative, Olindias sambaquiensis. With a depth range from sea level down to 55m of depth, these jellyfish tend to live near the ocean floor where they can hide among kelps, sea grasses, and loose rocky bottoms.

Living a nocturnal life, the flower hat jelly spends its days hiding on the ocean floor. But, once dusk arrives this jelly rises from its hiding places to capture small fishes within its tentacles, paralyzing and or killing the fish, before drawing the corpse up into the bell to be consumed. The stings from this jelly are painful, and at least one fatality has been recorded from them in Japan.  These tentacles hold most of the intrigue of the flower hat jelly.  The length of the tentacles may appear to be random, but has been found to be arranged mathematically in an optimization hashing algorithm known as fibonacci hashing. Length aside however, these jelly's, and especially their tentacles contain fluorescent proteins, which are used to attract prey when hunting, and are particularly bright under blacklight. This protein is uniquely interesting due to its use in helping treat some COVID cases, as it can be used as an inhibitor, stopping the replication of the disease, and slowing or halting its spread.

The reproduction and younger stages of the flower hat jellyfish were a mystery for many years, but in 2012 the Monterey Bay Aquarium managed to be the first to breed them in captivity, capturing a full lifecycle from larvae to polyp to medusa. Beginning as polyps attached to a hard surface along the seabed, where they are completely stationary, surviving off of a single active tentacle, which is waved back and forth to gather nutrients, forming a medusae and releasing them only once a size of 1mm was achieved. Then they will mature into juvenile medusa, which are identical to adult medusa in appearance and behavior, only being identifiable by their smaller size and less tentacles. Juvenile medusa only being around 2-20mm, and adults getting only as large as 6inches total throughout their lifespan. Adult flower hat jellies are only observed in the months of December-July with peaks in the months of May and April. However, we understand very little about how these jelly's sexually breed in the wild, but fertilization occurs externally, as gametes are released into the water to create small, non-cooperative colonies along similar areas. These animals live only 4-6 months as adults, and only around a year total before slowly losing their fluorescence and passing away.

That's the flower hat jelly, everybody, have a wonderful Tuesday!

Flower Hat Jelly Gender

USE WITH CREDITS PLEASE!

Flower hat jelly gender - when one may act or appear as one gender but is another. just like the jelly, they are to be more associated with being odd and embracing unattractive qualities of oneself.

I made this gender specifically because I wanted this gender centered around neurodivergence and how we may be perceived and stereotyped by others in society, especially when we may have a differing view on self expression. and so, this is a label for anyone, both binary and nonbinary identities can be added with this. while this was intended for neurodivergent people, neurotypical people can also use this identity as they see fit :)

Why a Flower Hat Jellyfish?

The flower hat jellyfish is not an actual jellyfish, which is where I got my inspiration to make this gender! While they look like jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, and true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. They are also often seen as "ugly" or "weird" by many while a few find beauty in them (thats me!!!). So, I purposely got colors directly from a flower hat jelly itself.

he shows it off to stream and gives you a big hug and shit

he'll often wear the clothing items you've made him on stream as well

"where's this from? oh, y/n made it for me!"

like Tommy, their bg is filled with little easter eggs of you

before the rebrand you even made him a little crown and he wore it religiously because it was honestly really comfy

he's tried to learn crochet on stream before but it wasn't going well LMAO

crocheting random shit just to throw it at him >>>

[aquariumpacific]

Got any cool jellyfish facts?

Of course!

These are my favorite jellies of the day, the flower hat jelly.

Flower hat jellies have a translucent bell with dark, opaque pinstripes radiating from the top center to the edge. Lustrous, multicolored, fluorescent- tipped tentacles trail from the bell, with others coiled up close to their bodies, making them appear short. They appear to light up like fireworks under a black light.

Flowerhat jellyfish

The flower hat jelly (Olindias formosus) is a species of hydromedusa in the hydrozoan family Olindiidae. Although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. Flower hat jellies occur in the northwestern Pacific off central and southern Japan, and South Korea's Jeju Island. (close relatives live elsewhere, like O. sambaquiensis found off Argentina and Brazil). The adult form of the flower hat jelly only lives a few months and is typically seen from December to July, with peaks in April and May. During the day they rest on the bottom, often among rocks or algae, but at night they float up to hunt for their prey, typically small fish.
