Did you know there’s a jellyfish that lives upside down? The upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) rests on the seafloor with its bell down so sunlight can reach the zooxanthellae, tiny algae living inside its tissues. The algae perform photosynthesis and produce energy the jellyfish uses as food. In return, the jellyfish gives them shelter and nutrients. A perfect alliance between an animal and microscopic algae. . . . #science #biology #microscopy | Science into Images

Diving into the mesmerizing world of upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea spp.)! 🌊 I found this incredible creature in shallow water under a pier here in the Red Sea of Aqaba. These jellyfish defy gravity with their unique upside-down orientation. Their pulsating bell sits on the seafloor, hosting symbiotic algae that provide both color and energy – a living masterpiece beneath the waves! 🌟 They are an important food source for the turtles.

✨ Welcome to the Upside Down at Sealife Adventure ✨ Meet the upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea). Unlike most jellyfish, this species rests on the seabed with its tentacles facing upwards, positioning itself to absorb light. Upside-down jellyfish have a close relationship with microscopic algae living in their tissues. These algae use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, which the jellyfish then uses to survive. Because of this, they can live for long periods without actively feeding

Seen on our offshore and sentosa intertidals - this is the UPSIDE-DOWN jelly! Yes, you’ve heard that right. This is the Upside-down Sea Jelly, Cassiopea. Unlike most jellyfish that drift through the water, this one spends its life lying upside-down on shallow seabed. Why upside down? Inside its tissues live tiny algae called zooxanthellae. These algae use sunlight to make food, sharing energy with the jellyfish in return for shelter which is exactly why these jellyfish are often seen in shallow
