NOAA Spots Striking Crossota Jelly During Deep-Sea Exploration
Original: Crossota Jelly
NOAA Ocean Exploration is highlighting the Crossota jelly, a translucent deep-sea hydrozoan encountered during ocean exploration work. The creature, with its glowing bell and trailing tentacles, is drawing attention for its otherworldly appearance and as a reminder of how little of the deep ocean has been documented.
Why now: Striking imagery of a rarely seen deep-sea jellyfish released by NOAA is capturing public fascination with ocean life.
