Whenever I see a picture or a video of moon sea jellies I have to stop whatever I am doing and count the gonads (circle things on their bell) they all have because I know that most sea jellies are suppose to have 4 but sometimes will have fewer or more due to mutation and I like spotting the ones that have an abnormal amout of testies

Meet the psychedelic jelly

This jelly’s vibrant colors and far-out appearance clued scientists into a unique find.

Of all the jellies that call the ocean’s midnight zone home, the psychedelic jelly (Crossota millsae) is one of the most stunning. Its wildly colorful appearance—ruby red, bright orange, and electric purple—first tipped off scientists that they had found a previously unknown species.

But a closer look offered scientists another surprise: This species is one of a handful of jellies that bear live young.

The female psychedelic jelly broods her babies on those crimson canals that radiate out inside her bell. Mom carries more than a single baby at once.

The developing young get their nutrition from mom. In their shelter beneath her bell, the little jellies grow bigger and bigger, even sprouting tentacles while still attached to their mother. 

When the juvenile jelly outgrows its shelter, it pulses free and swims off to live on its own. As the juvenile grows, its lavender color fades, developing the tangerine pigmentation typical of adults.

Jelly-ve it or not, the lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the world’s longest animals. This jumbo-sized jelly trails a “mane” of more than 800 stinging tentacles that are covered in cells with venom that stun prey, including other jellyfish, small crustaceans, and zooplankton. Just how long is the lion’s mane jellyfish? Well, its tentacles can grow more than 100 feet (30 meters) long! In fact, the longest examples of this species—which inhabit the Arctic Ocean—are even longer than the longest known blue whale. Come see a life-size model of one at the Museum’s Hall of Biodiversity!

Might i humbly request the jelly!neil au??

I really like neil's design as a jelly fish (also have you ever considered giving him other colors outside of orange for his jellyfish-ness??)

Well I have NOW, this was perfect to doodle after a long day

I also learned while doing these that Portuguese man o’ war are not technically jellyfish but we included him anyway 💕

Also mentioned was a species swap (thank you @jtl-fics ) so I have shark Neil and jelly Andrew too :D
