a jellyfish with white tentacles floating in the water

This jelly’s common name, red-eyed medusa, comes from the red-rimmed eyespots (ocelli) at the bases of its tentacles. Some jelly watchers consider the red-eye medusa the most beautiful jelly found along the West Coast, where it inhabits nearshore waters and bays among eelgrass. This jelly is a hydromedusa, not a Scyphozoan (true jelly). During the day it spends most of its time near the sea floor, moving closer to the water’s surface when darkness falls to seek prey.
