A large species known as the Fried Egg Jellyfish or as the Egg Yoke Jelly. Mainly found in the open oceans, this one was caught snooping about the south end of Haida Gwaii Islands, British Columbia. It actually eats other jellyfish, and is sufficiently odd to have been given its own Family, the Phacellophoridae.

A moon jelly and it's entourage is flanked by a comb jelly on the rocks near the Kiddie Pool.While the Moons are usually few and far between, at times, there are thousands of comb jellies to contend with. Unlike the Moon, the comb jelly does not have nematocysts, or stinging cells. Other than stealing the shot, they are harmless.St. Andrews State Park West Jetty- St. Andrews Bay Channel sidePanama City Beach, Bay County, Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 14-42mm II Lens PT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port
