The jellyfish itself provides a tasty meal for other ocean creatures, particularly sea turtles, who like to guzzle them up regularly. In addition to the several new jellies they’ve discovered in the past couple of years, they have perhaps ten more that look like solid candidates for new species. Moon jellyfish were sent into space by scientists who wanted to understand how they would respond to microgravity. The greatest diversity in jellyfish bioluminescence occurs in deeper water, where nearly every kind of jellyfish is luminescent and is mostly used in defense against predators.

Though many jellyfish and comb jellies look outwardly similar, the two groups are evolutionarily distinct. Standing 24cm tall, the rounded tank holds two amazingly lifelike jellyfish which swim and glide around. Once the eggs are fertilized, the fertilized eggs (zygotes) move into the oral arms where they spend some time developing and becoming larvae. The evidence now suggests that jellies are an ancient life-form, hundreds of millions of years old, and probably predate most of the more familiar, complex animals. As it turns out, they are a dominant form of life in the ocean, far more abundant than previously realized.While four of the classes that belong to the phylum Cnidaria are often considered as jellyfish, true jellyfish belong to the class Scyphozoa. Read More a commitment to quality and safety, it's the perfect destination for anyone seeking the ideal gift for a child.

But, says Raskoff, “the genetic evidence supports a very, very different linkage between these different groups.Jellyfish are one of the oldest animals on Earth and have changed very little from their prehistoric ancestors.

To get them into the lamp takes very little effort: first, you have to fill the aquarium with water, then you put the Jellyfish in, and then you sit back and enjoy the show. Sometimes luciferin and luciferase are bound together with oxygen into a single molecule, or photoprotein. Some biologists have speculated that jelly populations thrive as increasing numbers of shrimps, fishes, and squids are harvested from the oceans, leaving behind vast amounts of uneaten small prey. In recent years we’ve learned that larvaceans account for a quarter to maybe a third of all the organic carbon that gets from the upper layers of the ocean in Monterey Bay, at least down to the deep-seafloor community,” Robison says. Matsumoto and Raskoff found that the number of arms on Big Red--often a reliable guide for distinguishing a species--varies anywhere from four to seven, depending on the individual.

The deep-sea shrimp ( Acanthephyra purpurea) vomit bioluminescent goop into the face of threatening diners, presumably either as a scare tactic or to create a distraction while the shrimp escapes.
