Oh, to be a jellyfish, just drifting along, no brain to hurt me.

Two very different types of #jellyfish. First, an extremely limey neon green specimen - unsure, but likely #Cunina sp., and then a wacky #Zancleopsis grandis, recognizable by its “two long, two short” layout of its tentacles.

Coming to horrifying realisations why I strongly relate to certain characters. Very bad!

It's time for your regular reminder that argonauts ride around on jellyfish.
A Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a red bell jellyfish. The argonaut is sitting on the bell of the jellyfish, and the jellyfish is swimming downward, so the whole thing is upsidedown. The jellyfish has a dark orange bell and light orange arms. The argonaut has a wavy, spiral egg case that it wears like a shell. The egg case is a off white with black or grey on the outer rim. The argonaut itself is mostly in the egg case but you can see its head and part of its arms sticking out of the egg case. Its arms are sucker side out, and it has a bright orange eye with a round black pupil. A blackwater photograph of a Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a jellyfish The jellyfish and argonaut are oriented to the right, The argonaut has a spiral "shell" that is actually an egg case. It is knobbly and curved like a spiral, with it being off white at the opening and become more yellowy light brown toward the end with a dark brown on the back edge. The argonaut has a dark purple eye and is holding onto the jellyfish with its suckers. The octopus is an off white colour and the jellyfish is translucent blue. A male Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a jellyfish in a blackwater photo. The argonaut has an orange colour and its arms are slightly raised. Its eye has a round black pupil with a yellow iris. The jellyfish is transparent and it has two long oral arms that almost look like legs or pants. A juvenile Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding on top of a jellyfish. The argonaut is in a small, wavy "shell" with the ends of its arms in the "shell." Most of the arms are exposed with the sucker side out. The argonaut has a fairly large eye with a yellow iris.
