More sea nettles
These are sea nettles, part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's huge collection of jellyfish. As the aquarium puts it, "A sea nettle is well armed for capturing food," reads a sign at the aquarium. "See those wispy tentacles? They fire thousands of tiny stinging cells that paralyze prey. Then the jelly transfers its catch to those frilly mouth-arms and finally to its mouth, where the jelly eats its meal."
