Welcome to another episode of Random Fish Fridays. Today's theme is
Glow in the Dark Jellies
Flower Hat Jelly
We return once again to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California where we spent some time admiring their Jellyfish collections.
The first video is of Comb Jellies (Phylum ctenophora). The colorful electric light show they produce is caused by the movement of eight vertical rows of cilia that run down their bodies. The cilia look like the teeth of a comb, which is where they get their name.
Comb Jellies
Our next video is of Flower Hat Jellies (Olindias formosa). This jelly lives along the ocean floor in southern Pacific coastal areas. The Flower hat Jelly has a powerful sting which is used to immobilize it's prey like small fish. The sting is painful to humans but not deadly.

Up next is the Umbrella Jelly (Eutonina indicans). These tiny little jellies only reach the size of a quarter and live along the west coast of North American.

Our last video is of the Moon Jelly (Aurelia labiata). The Moon Jellies shown are in their final mature adult stage, called the medusa stage. They are found along both coasts of North America, Europe and Asia.

I hope you have enjoyed our little presentation of Glow in the Dark Jellies. Now it's time for
Random Ugly Fish Picture
Weedy Sea Dragon
Looks like crowdfundedwhale hasn't missed any of your fish posts yet. Thanks for resteeming.
Hmmm, how to attract a whale...talk about fish. I'm a genius! All kidding aside, thanks for your support.
That sea dragon is pretty wild looking. I like it. Got any more?
Sure, how about this one?
Great videos, hope I can go see this aquarium some day.
It is well worth the trip. Probably the second best aquarium I've ever been to. The best one is the National Aquarium at the Baltimore Inner Harbor.
Those jellyfish are "electric"!
