  • The translucent aspect of many invertebrates, here a jellyfish, can be seen clearly in this picture.  The blue lumps in the bottom of the jellyfish look like feet and is one of the most unique jellyfish that I have seen.  This picture was taken at the Monterey Aquarium in California which has a large section dedicated to jellyfish.

  • Sea Nettle Jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, taken at the Monterey Aquarium in California. Not a jellyfish sting, but the sea nettle does. It hunts tiny drifting animals by trailing those long tentacles and frilly mouth-arms, all covered with stinging cells. When the tentacles touch prey, the stinging cells paralyze it and stick tight. The prey is then moved to the mouth-arms and finally to the mouth, where it's digested.

  • Living sand dollar have a different look than the white exoskeleton people are familiar with. Densely packed, tiny, dark purple spines cover live sand dollars and hide the star design...In their sandy seafloor habitat, sand dollars use their fuzzy spines, aided by tiny hairs (cilia), to ferry food particles along their bodies to a central mouth on their bottom side. They capture plankton with spines and pincers (pedicellariae) on their body surfaces. Sand dollars use their spines to move along the sand, or to drive edgewise into the sand. On the upper half of the sand dollar's body, spines also serve as gills...In quiet waters, sand dollars stand on end, partially buried in the sand. When waters are rough, sand dollars hold their ground by lying flat or even burrowing under the sand. Adults can also fight the currents by growing heavier skeletons. Young sand dollars weigh themselves down by swallowing heavy sand grains.
