HYPERDOLPHIN (ハイパードルフィン)

I realize that I haven't mentioned this very important band in Ite! that is central to Rankou's storyline so I should probably talk about it :>

Formed in his first year, HYPERDOLPHIN is pretty much just your run-of-the-mill high school band. The members are as follows:

Yamamoto Rankou (山本卵黄):

Leader / Bassist

Responsible for a lot of the planning and other management-related things for the band

Terrible at singing

Egg Yolk Jelly / Samukurage / Phacellophora camtschatica

[Last name pending] Kiseki (きせき):

Vocalist / Rhythm Guitarist

One of the founding members

A bit of a renaissance jelly when it comes to music

Cauliflower Jelly / Ibokurage / Cephea cephea

Nakachi Helios (中地ヘリオス):

Drummer

Ends up mooching snacks and spare change off of other members

Has Phasmophobia

Mediterranean Jellyfish / Chichoukai Ibokurage / Cotylorhiza tuberculata

Nozaki Yuune (野崎幽音):

Lead Guitarist

Exceptionally gifted at guitar

Pretty quiet and shy, has a habit of accidentally sneaking up on people

Ghost Jellyfish / Yuureikurage / Cyanea nozakii

instead of doing homework i have tried to find the etymology for like, half of the research vehicles at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) and i wish i could stop procrastinating

[donuts4evry1]

ok so edit, it wasn't a fish or crustacean, it's a species of sea butterfly

I'm not sure where I got the idea of "exclusively strobilate" from but I think it has to do with the idea of being epibionts or whatever (I still don't really understand what that is)

Anyways I got this from the study "The anthomedusan fauna of the Japan Trench: preliminary results from in situ surveys with manned and unmanned vehicles" so if you want to read more, it's all in there

oh, did you know that the Red Lantern jellyfish (Pandea rubra) either can't strobilate/produce a polyp if it doesn't settle on a specific species of fish/crustacean?

They're very picky like that.

I read it in an article about deep sea jellyfish (I think it was in Japanese waters, but I could be wrong. I remember seeing a lot of japanese submersibles, like my favourite: Shinkai 6500). Maybe I'll post specifics later if I feel like researching again
