⭐️ THE GOLDEN JELLYFISH ⭐️
The Golden Jellyfish, Mastigias papua etpisoni, is a species of jellyfish from the Indo-Pacific! They are one of four species which inhabit the famous Jellyfish Lake in Palau!
These jellies feed on zooplankton and while doing so move from one side of the lake to the other over the course of the day! The reason behind this is due to the zooplankton moving and following phytoplankton which they feed on!
Golden jellyfish also have a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae, zooxanthellae - same as corals 🪸! The algae gain shelter while the jellyfish in return is provide with energy!
