@mbari_news: Searching for something extraordinary? Look no further. This jellyfish, Chrysaora, often occurs in dense swarms at or near the surface, and its stinging tentacles can pack quite a punch! They carry stinging nematocysts that stun and capture prey such as larval fish, plankton, and other jellies. These nematocysts are filled with venom and triggered by touch, instantaneously firing a harpoon-like filament that serves to paralyze its prey. #ocean #marinebiology #jellyfish #oceanlife #fyp
