✨ Welcome to the Upside Down at Sealife Adventure ✨ Meet the upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea). Unlike most jellyfish, this species rests on the seabed with its tentacles facing upwards, positioning itself to absorb light. Upside-down jellyfish have a close relationship with microscopic algae living in their tissues. These algae use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, which the jellyfish then uses to survive. Because of this, they can live for long periods without actively feeding

Upside-down jellyfish sure do flip the script when it comes to feeding time! Instead of swimming around, these unique jellies anchor themselves to the sea floor and extend their tentacles upward, capturing tiny plankton drifting by. As you can see, we give them a little assistance in this process, but talk about a topsy-turvy treat! 😂🌊 | OdySea Aquarium

Cassiopea Jellyfish, (upside down jellyfish), are a common find in the warm waters of South Florida. Rather than stinging with their tentacles, this species releases a mucus filled sac that floats in the water column, and activates once swam through! Therefore, you don’t even have to contact this jellyfish in order to feel the effects! The sting of this species is relatively mild, which is why I am able to hold this one in my hand with no concern! Although, I don’t recommend touching Jellyfish n

Did you know there’s a jellyfish that lives upside down? The upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) rests on the seafloor with its bell down so sunlight can reach the zooxanthellae, tiny algae living inside its tissues. The algae perform photosynthesis and produce energy the jellyfish uses as food. In return, the jellyfish gives them shelter and nutrients. A perfect alliance between an animal and microscopic algae. . . . #science #biology #microscopy | Science into Images

🌏 World Jellyfish Day 🌏 Meet the Upside-Down Jellyfish! Species: Cassiopea andromeda Size Range: 2cm - 30cm Unique Behavior: Unlike typical jellies, the upside-down jellyfish rests on the seafloor with its tentacles raised to the sun. This allows the algae in its tissues to photosynthesize, creating energy for the jellyfish. ☀️ Habitat: Found in sheltered, shallow spots like sand flats, seagrass beds, and mangroves. In Australia, these jellies range from northwestern Western Australia to Queen

Diving into the mesmerizing world of upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea spp.)! 🌊 I found this incredible creature in shallow water under a pier here in the Red Sea of Aqaba. These jellyfish defy gravity with their unique upside-down orientation. Their pulsating bell sits on the seafloor, hosting symbiotic algae that provide both color and energy – a living masterpiece beneath the waves! 🌟 They are an important food source for the turtles.
