  • Leidy’s comb jellies 

    These sea jellies don’t have the bells and tentacles we think of when we imagine jellyfish. They are often called sea walnuts. This species appears to have rainbow colors running down their bodies on the track of internal moving cilia. They are bioluminescent and can flash brightly when disturbed.

    Watch a video of these jellies eating and learn more about them.
