Rare Jelly that has only been seen once before

submitted by eric3579

2 years 4 months 2 weeks ago

While exploring the waters off Kavieng, Papua New Guinea in 2021, a diver with Scuba Ventures captured absolutely stunning footage of an incredibly rare Chirodectes maculatus, a box jellyfish that had only been seen once before. The animal had a body that looks like a giant beach ball, and the large tentacles resemble various root vegetables. Either way, according to the diver, this particular jelly moved really fast.

A different box jelly is one of the most deadly animals on earth, often killing humans in minutes.
This one is beautiful. Gotta get to the Great Barrier Reef before it all bleaches!
