#I'm honestly not the best at differentiating between different species but it's ok :)#tbh i'm not 100% sure that the jellyfish was a chrysaora pacifica bc there's usually some reddish pigment in there#but#it's the closest one we've got and the most popular ones kept in aquariums#someone else mentioned the chrysaora quinqincirreha(?) and that seems like a likely option#though usually it is ghostly white and doesn't have the same striking stripes that the image does#it reminds me more of the sea nettles that are found around parts of Africa but I haven't done enough research on them to be 100% sure#chrysaora pseudocelata is such a funny name to me tho#um#anyways I should rly learn how to differentiate octants in a jellyfish#because that's like the number 1 way to differentiate between species#they are radially symmetrical so they have 8 parts#number of tentacles is surprisingly important too#the chrysaora pacifica (japanese sea nettle) has 40 tentacles while the chrysaora melanaster (northern sea nettle) has 24#the difference is also pretty staggering with the closely related chrysaora achlyos and chrysaora colorata (black sea nettle and purple str-#-iped sea nettle respectively). can't remember which one has more but my bet is on the c. achlyos#mun rambles#jellyfish#chrysaora pacifica
