The Bloodbelly comb jelly may look like it is lit up like a holiday display, but the truth is a bit more complicated! Info via @montereybayaquarium: The sparkling display is light diffracting and refracting off tiny hairlike cilia that propel the jelly. Scientists think its red belly helps mask bioluminescent light from prey it eats: a predator with a glowing gut could easily become prey! | Schmidt Ocean Institute

Comb Jellies, or ctenophores, are fascinating marine invertebrates that are often mistaken for jellyfish, but they're actually a distinct group! What makes them so unique are those eight rows of "combs" you can see, which are made of tiny cilia. They beat in a coordinated rhythm, creating a beautiful, iridescent shimmering effect as they propel the jelly through the water. They're also often bioluminescent, meaning they can produce their own light! | Cynda L Rash

Another species that looks like a jellyfish but isn’t: the ctenophore. Also called comb jellies, we discovered a new species of ctenophore in 2015. It was the first species ever identified solely through high-definition video, and it was first seen on a deep-sea dive off of Puerto Rico. Most comb jellies have eight rows of comb-like cilia that beat rhythmically, refracting light into colors, as they paddle through the water. This one has long tentacles, and our scientists observed its interestin
