Crystal, Jelly (Aequorea victoria)
|
Almost entirely transparent and colorless, and sometimes difficult to resolve.
|
This jellyfish is capable of producing flashes of blue light by a quick release of calcium which interacts with the photoprotein aequorin.
|
Because it is transparent, it is commonly seen in silhouette
|
The Crystal Jelly can seem almost spooky when seen in silhouette in dark water.
