Flowerhat jellyfish
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The flower hat jelly (Olindias formosus) is a species of hydromedusa in the hydrozoan family Olindiidae. Although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. Flower hat jellies occur in the northwestern Pacific off central and southern Japan, and South Korea's Jeju Island. (close relatives live elsewhere, like O. sambaquiensis found off Argentina and Brazil). The adult form of the flower hat jelly only lives a few months and is typically seen from December to July, with peaks in April and May. During the day they rest on the bottom, often among rocks or algae, but at night they float up to hunt for their prey, typically small fish.

Suzume: "I would be a pond mermaid. A gentle care giver and friend to those who visit me! As for my tail... A red Hi Utsuri Koi! Their beautiful black and red colorations are absolutely darling!"
Tumblr media
Mana: "I genuinly believe there is a possibility of creatures similiar to mermaids existing on this planet. However, I feel like they would look quite different from what we imagine them to look like. Considering our oceans are still widely unexplored, it would not be impossible for an intelligent species of mermaid like beings to exist somewhere in the depths of the deepsea. Considering I am more drawn to the darker aesthetics I sure would like to imagine myself as one of those mysterious creatures."
Tumblr media
Natsu: "Moreso for visual appeal... A flowerhat jellyfish. I like their dainty and floral-like appearance, along with the lights they create. Plus, it makes for an interesting mermaid, no? Then, since they wander, I would too. To explore every area of the sea."
Tumblr media
Tomoky: "Probably nothing important.. Or an invasive species, like Tiger Fishes- Spikes, pattern, venom.. And don't belong anywhere."
Tumblr media
Sharon: “I remember wanting to be a mermaid when I was a child. They’re just so elegant and pretty, don’t you think? Not to mention I’d love to explore freely underneath the water! Who knows what you find down there…! ーー As for my tail, perhaps something like the halfmoon betta fish? With soft pink and purples shades and ruffles at the tip.”

also!! if you had to pick a favorite jellyfish, which one would you pick? ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ i love flowerhats and sea wanderers
..
I don't know much about jellyfish. Although, i've found them to be quite fascinating.
The ability to persist after death.. kind of like immortality, no? In some sort of way.
.. anyways. I looked things up.

I love how these are turning out!! Jellyfish sticker design #3 the Flower Hat Jelly. While they aren't a proper Jellyfish, I just love them. What lovely little aliens beings!
Spirit Tome Olindias Formas Entry " These delicate nobles haunt the remains of old cruise liners, floating down forgotten decks and dreaming out glittering stained glass windows. They are sometimes caught dancing with one another across shafts of light in the lost cages of the once grand ballrooms now on the sea floor. Were their past lives spent on these ships or do they dream of the lives they could have had here? "

Which jellies remind you of space the most? If you had to tag the squad as jellies who would they be?
I think the one that reminds me of space the most is this recently discovered type of crossota jellyfish!! they look so strange and spooky, I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like that in space
!!!! as for the squad as jellyfish!!!!!!!! A VERY COOL QUESTION
Raptor - sea wasp. small and full of knives, will hunt you down. eye motif.
Shtiya - black sea nettle. a powerful elegant black-and-red goth.
Karla - upside-down jellyfish. shitposter extraordinaire. is preoccupied with plants and growing things.
Ella - flowerhat jellyfish. high-femme who’s always dressed in bright colors.
Orla - fried egg jellyfish. yellow and cute with the best, most incomprehensible sense of humor.
Corn - cannonball jellyfish. simple but rad aesthetic. the cool one everyone else tries to impress tbh.
and of course I’m a lion’s mane jelly, because I’m large and fluffy and I come in a variety of purple/pink/gold colors c:
this was a really good ask, thank you for this ask

An update on sealife too! I've added violet, lime green, and cyan seastars to the group, as well as a queen Angelfish 😊 and more importantly: The flowerhat Jellyfish are here!! I'm super happy with how they turned out, and while they might not look exactly like the concept sketches I posted a while back on my secondary, they are still super cool 😊 they glow in the dark as well as fluoresce under UV light #polymerclay #polymerclayanimals #polymerclaysealife #polymerclayocean #polymerclaycoral #polymerclaycoralreef #polymerclayfish #polymerclaystarfish #polymerclayjellyfish #seastar #queenangelfish #flowerhatjellyfish https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RhcYenPZO/?igshid=1jr23klvqpl9c

Dad's Turn
Rebekah hasn’t been feeling well these past few days, so I was given the chore of getting us to the Okinawa aquarium today. Since I’ve been watching her do it all vacation, I thought it should be pretty easy to figure out. After all, the public transportation system in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka was pretty well developed and I had Google Maps to guide me. What could go wrong?
After putting in our destination, GM said to walk 2 miles to the limousine bus station and ride that all the way to the aquarium, a 60km trip across the island. The limousine bus is a service between the resort hotels and the airport to make life easier for tourists. I didn’t want to walk since Rebekah was feeling poorly so I called a cab. As we set out I reached for the umbrella, but since the skys were clear I left it in the room. Little did I know that storm clouds were building just beyond the horizon.
We got in the cab and started toward the stop indicated by GM when the first drops of the brewing storm started to fall. The cab driver asked again for our destination and seemed confused. She stopped the taxi and called back to the dispatcher for directions and eventually handed me the phone. I talked to the dispatcher who spoke english very well. She had never heard of the limo bus either and suggested maybe the highway express bus. I finally agreed and we were off again. 3000yen later (about $30) we were dropped off at a lonely bus stop on the side of the highway to wait.
At this point Rebekah decided to check GM and although the highway bus did indeed go to the aquarium, it was not the limo bus. And we had to wait almost 90 minutes for our bus…. We eventually finished the two hour bus ride to the aquarium, arriving later than planned. The sky was an amazing blue, wispy white clouds and the view to the ocean was breathtaking. I would have been happy spending the rest of the afternoon gazing out to sea, but the world’s second largest aquarium awaited.
We had to wait thirty more minutes to get the discounted ticket price, so we went to the restaurant and got lunch. With full bellies we entered the aquarium and beheld some amazing creatures. Rebekah was thrilled to see a flowerhat jellyfish and was almost in tears when she saw the box jellyfish, one of the most deadly the ocean has to offer. I was enamored by not one but two giant whale sharks swimming gracefully around a tank the size of a house. We spoiled our dinner eating ice cream in the cafe next to the tank and watched them glide past.
After ice cream we went outside to watch the sea turtles and peek at manatee and dolphin. Around 5:30 Rebekah checked GM to plot our course for the hotel. The storm broke forcefully and without warning.
Google returned an ominous “No route found” answer to our request. It turns out that the limo bus and the highway bus both stop running pretty early on Okinawa. There are no trains, subways or other buses connecting cities on the island either; I blame a strong American presence for the lack of public transportation. A taxi was our only way back across the island.
We arrived back at the hotel after dark but were treated to a beautiful sunset along the way. By the way, 13,800yen is a small price to pay for a trip to Japan with your daughter and totally worth the ticket price to the aquarium. But next time I’ll remember to check for the time the last bus departs and make sure we’re on it.
