Did you know that lion's mane jellies are actually amazing moms? They protect their tiny kids, no bigger than poppy seeds, in specialized pockets under their bell. The young are free to leave, but mom lets they stay until they're ready. #DailyJelly

These lentil-sized jellies are some of the stickiest critters in town. They have specialized adhesive discs on their tentacles. When stuck on the side of aquarium glass, they look like a spray of tiny stars. #DailyJelly

Blue sea dragons (Glaucus) float on the surface & hunt Portuguese man-o-war. Not only do they eat one of the world's most dangerous animals, but they actually steal man-o-war stinging cells and use them as armor! #DailyJelly Vid: https://t.co/JmmbZB6dwU
Jellyfish like this have HUNDREDS of mouths! Filter-feeding jellyfish are called "root mouths" b/c they have a complex network of connections leading to the stomach. I wonder: do these 'mouths' also function in gas exchange, like lungs? #DailyJelly Study: https://t.co/69LHwxVDkw
There are living islands in the open ocean, made of animals that live only at the surface. They are rare-seen, absolutely stunning, and now in danger. Why does the #OceanCleanupProject terrify me? Animals like this will be helpless against it.
