Aurelia aurita also called Moon Jellyfish.
They can be found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and are common to the waters off California, Japan, the East Coast of the United States as well as Europe.
The animal is translucent, can be 25-40 cm across, and has characteristic patterns of color within its body. It feeds by stinging small medusans, plankton and mollusks with its tentacles and bringing them into its body for digestion, but is capable of only limited motion; like other jellies it drifts with the current. |

Wow! Awesomw shot. They do glow like the moon. A very magical capture. The place of the j.fish within the frame is also very artistic. Thanks for sharing.
