JEL-05-HS001-010
A purple jellyfish, Pelagia noctiluca, off the coast of New Jersey, USA. The slightly stinging purple jellyfish has only few catch tentacles trailing from its bell and five feeding tentacles surrounding its mouth. It can grow 40 cm across. When first discovered, it glowed at night, presumably because it was feeding on sea spark dinoflagellates
