A jellyfish might not be what you think of when it comes to Alaskan wildlife, but spotting this little red-eyed Medusa jellyfish was one of the highlights of my time on the pacific coast. There’s something so mesmerizing about the way these animals move in the water and I feel like their gracefulness is highly underrated!

The red ocelli (eyespots) that you can see around the base of the bell are light sensitive, which allows the jelly to orient itself. It feeds on benthic zooplankton, small crustaceans, and worms. Isn’t it adorable how this little one boops the surface of the water with their bell?

A choir of bell jellies!!

Based on the reaction from yesterday’s beachcombing Instagram Story, we went back to Asilomar State Beach to share our findings with Periscope and Facebook Live.

After spending some time with various algae and moon jellies, we ventured down the beach only to find that Polyorchis bell jellies were also making their way around the Monterey Peninsula!

Bell jellies are different from moon jellies—they’re a hydrozoan medusa, not a scyphozoan medusa. They’re crystal clear with filamentous guts and gonads, and with conspicuous red eyespots along the eye of their bell, earning them the name “red eye medusa.”

You never know what you’ll find on the beach!

If you've gotta catch a red-eye, make it a Polyorchis penicillatus bell jelly!

Lining the rim of its crystal-clear bell are a myriad of red eye-spots that help the jelly sense light and dark. A large smack of bell jellies—with their sights set on Monterey beaches—gave local diver Phil Lemley an eyeful this weekend!
