The Crystal jellyfish, also known as Aequorea victoria, is a nearly completely see-through jellyfish with delicate strands as tentacles. The Crystal jellyfish is found in the Pacific ocean in the range from southern California all the way to Vancouver. The Crystal jellyfish is capable of expanding its mouth to eat other jellies more than half its size. The Crystal jellyfish lightly glows due to light-producing organs along the edge of its cap. In fact, the Crystal jellyfish is frequently harvested to be used as biological marker for calcium thanks to its glowing organs.
Crystal Jellyfish have a bell width between .8”-10” (2-25.4 cm), bell height of .5”-5.9” (1.2-15 cm), and overall length of 1.2”-14.2” (3-36 cm). The typical lifespan of the Crystal Jellyfish is 2-6 months.
