Field Notes

Description:

It seems that this jellyfish's sting has very little or no effect on humans. The smooth, elevated dome is surrounded by a gutter-like ring. The marginal lappets are elongated and subrectangular. Each mouth-arm bifurcates near its base and branches several times. In addition to some larger appendages there are many short, club-shaped ones that bear disk-like ends.

Habitat:

La Manga del Mar Menor, Cartagena, España.

Marta, no veo que tengas un patche especial para los polinizadores. Seguramente ha coincidido que han utilizado el spotting del polinizador para enviarte el patche de otra cosa, eso me ha pasado a mí en alguna ocasión.
No te imaginas cómo hemos disfrutado buceando, Mariajo. Tengo vídeos, pero aún no los he podido subir. A ver si lo consigo pronto.
Preciosas. Veo que tú y Lali no habéis dejado nada por fotografiar en el fondo marino.
