Umbrella Jellyfish
Eutonina indicans ON EXHIBIT: Jellies: Living Art exhibit
FUN FACTS
This beautiful small jellyfish looks like a miniature umbrella. Its transparent body and small size make it nearly invisible in the ocean. The most conspicuous parts of the umbrella jelly’s body are the four radial canals. The mouth has four frilly lips and extends below the bell margin on a conical peduncle. When food is snared by this tiny predator, the mouth swings over to “lick” the new meal off the tentacles.
