Animal of the Day!

Halitrephes Jelly (Halitrephes maasi)

(Photo from National Geographic)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- Unknown

Diet- Plankton

Cool Facts- Despite not having an official common name, the Halitrephes Jelly is lovingly called the firework jelly by the internet. Very little is known about this deep sea jelly. Found up to 1500 meters below, these jellies gather in small groups to feed on plankton blooms but are generally solitary. Specific sensors along their bodies reflect light to create a brilliant array of colors, ranging from purple to orange. 

Rating- 11/10 (Fourth of July in the bathypelagic zone.)

AVAILABLE! Use the link in my profile! “Sepioids are peaceful, curious aliens who evolved in low gravity that somehow supports a very humid lower atmosphere. Their scent/respiratory sensory organs are located on the back of their round heads, the appendages constantly refresh moisture much like a human eye blink. Their mouth appendages are used to produce bubbling singing speech, and for gesturing and emotional signalling, in constant intricate motion. However, when visiting higher grav worlds, these tend to be held tightly together while a vocal translator is used for communication. One speculates that gravity exerts too much pull for them to speak with the same graceful articulation, much like a human trying to speak after a shot of paralyzing novocaine. Sepioids are able to keep their jelly- like bodies upright and ambulatory for short periods of time while visiting higher gravity environs but must retire to a tide pool float pod for several hours for sleep and recovery. Many of them can be seen with curious semi transparent carapace sitting over their forehead. This is in fact another living creature! These symbiotic amphibious animals spend most of their life in a flat jellyfish like stage until they are ready to reach the next life cycle by attaching to a Sepioid, permanently shaping themselves to the round forehead. It is unknown what the mutual benefit is for both creatures but it is speculated it provides some sort of armor or sensory enhancement for the Sepioid while the jelly-creature gets free meals and protection for the rest of their life.” This piece has been painted with a gajillion layers of color and iridescent paint! It took me a very long time to get the paint just right and the color scheme is based on a halitrephes jellyfish. Song is Warp Whistle by Fartbarf.

thoughts on jellyfish?

I love jellyfish! I've been stung a few times actually (none have left lasting damage thankfully). If you're stung by a jellyfish, pour vinegar on the sting (which deactivates the stinging nematocysts) and then submerge the stung area in warm water or have a hot shower. The water should be HOT but not scalding. Also seek immediate medical care if it hurts a lot because the worse it hurts the more potent the venom and excessive pain could be a warning sign for a potentially dangerous allergic reaction.

My favourite species of jelly is Halitrephes maasi, or the fireworks jelly. It's an extremely rare species that's found about 1500m beneath the surface in low-oxygen areas and deepwater.

And they're stunning.

Convince me the ocean isn’t pure poetry! As Rachel Carson said in her 1952 National Book Award speech, “If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”

A Burst of Deep Sea Fireworks: Halitrephes Jelly | Nautilus Live

We’re starting this year with deep sea fireworks, and a spirit of exploration! When something remarkable floats by in the middle of sampling operations, our team quickly switches gears to marvel and document. The frilled tentacles of the Halitrephes maasi jelly came into view at 1225m in the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California, Mexico. Radial canals that move nutrients through the…

🌊JELLYFISH APPRECIATION 🌊

since jellyfish are my favorite sea animal :)

fun fact 1 - jellyfish have roamed the earth for 500 - 600 million years, making them the oldest multi-organ animal

fun fact 2 - jellyfish do not have brains, blood, bones, nor heart! however they do have a nervous system with receptors that detect light, vibrations, and chemicals in the water

fun fact 3 -the largest known jellyfish is called the lions mane jellyfish!! its also known as the hair jelly or the giant jellyfish

fun fact 4 - there is a type of jellyfish that is immortal! its called the Turritopsis dohrnii (or just the immortal jellyfish) and they are the only known animal that is biologically immortal

fun fact 5 - the Australian box jellyfish is considered to be the most venomous marine animal on earth. its stings can cause paralysis, cardiac arrest, and death within minutes

fun fact 6 - jellyfish can clone themselves ! they can also regenerate themselves when cut in half, creating two separate jellyfish

fun fact 7- in 1991, NASA sent a bunch if jellyfish to space to study how microgravity would affect them

fun fact 8 - the smallest breed of jellyfish is the Irukandji jellyfish, but despite their size, they are still very dangerous. as they are the species of box jellyfish

fun fact 9 - A GROUP OF JELLYFISH IS CALLED A SMACK. but also occasionally called a “bloom” :)

fun fact 10 -jellyfish are between 85% - 98% water so when the water evaporates, they almost appear as they have disappeared

those are all my facts for today !! remember that you are cool and that jellyfish are cool as well B)

*apologies if any of these facts are inaccurate

Monday mornings require mesmerizing moments in the midnight zone. 🤩⁠

⁠Our researchers are often captivated by the beauty of deep-sea jellies, like this dazzling fireworks jelly (Halitrephes sp.) with its brightly colored tentacle tips. This species of hydromedusa is typically seen around 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) deep in Monterey Bay during the summer. Its bell can reach up to 10 centimeters (four inches) wide.
