Be amazed at the complexity of the stinging cauliflower jellyfish |
I previously did a blog post on the stinging cauliflower
jellyfish, a species we saw in Bocas del Toro. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a
camera when we first saw it, so there were no pics of this incredible creature.
However, last winter, out in the dinghy at Tierra Oscura area, we encountered
dozens of the huge jellyfish-eating jellyfish. I took these photos by sticking
my underwater camera over the side of the dinghy. There was no way I was going
in the water with these beasts!Consider that the bell portion of the jellyfish is about the size of a basket ball, and those tentacles extend forever below.

Those fish are not caught, but swimming amongst the tentacles |

Just a beautiful image of the bell as it pulsates |
