Jelly Blubber

A jellyfish species from the Indo-Pacific coast is called the Jelly Blubber (Catostylus mosaicus), also called the blue blubber jellyfish. It is the jellyfish that is most frequently seen around the eastern coast of Australia, and enormous swarms can occasionally be seen in estuary waters. It eats mostly plankton, little fish, a few crustaceans, and tiny ocean water particles.

The jelly blubber's enormous bell is often blue farther north in Australia than it is in Sydney waters, where it is typically creamy white or brown. Symbiotic algae plant cells within the jellyfish's body are where the colors come from. The underside does not appear to have a mouth, but each arm has a small aperture that allows food to enter the stomach. Additionally equipped with stinging cells, the tentacles can seize tiny crustaceans and other plankton. It may expand to a 35cm width.
