Lion's Mane Jelly

This jelly has been described as a mop hiding under a dinner plate. Its translucent bell can range from deep red to reddish-purple areas in the center, with younger individuals having a yellowish-brown hue. Juveniles are often milky or colorless. Being relatively thick-bodied has earned this jelly the nickname sea blubber. In addition, its oral arms exude a thick, slimy mucus with a strong fish odor, explaining why some Australians have taken to calling this jelly snottie. Jellies Invasion: Oceans Out of Balance. The Invasion Begins Summer 2009.
