Sea nettle at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sea nettle (Chrysaora fuscescens)<\/em> is one of the most fascinating creatures of the open ocean.\u00a0These jelly fish, as they are commonly known,\u00a0are invertebrates with tentacles\u00a0up to\u00a015 feet long and a bell of up to 3 feet in diameter.\u00a0Their deadly sting paralyzes\u00a0their prey\u00a0which includes\u00a0pollock, plankton, and other jellies,\u00a0and they can travel as much as 3,600 feet\u00a0up and down in the water daily in search of food.<\/p>\n

This image was made at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is a wonderful place to experience the\u00a0undersea world without getting wet! The graceful movement of the jellies is mesmerizing to watch and the large displays offer unlimited possibilities for creative photography.<\/p>\n
