Comb Jelly
Bildnummer 13496731
| Ctenophores or comb jellies have eight rows of fused cilia ('combs') that run along the length of their bodies and gently move in coordinated pulses. This propels the animals through the water column. The reflection of light off of the fused cilia is what makes these creatures spectacular - the prismatic effects from the light hitting these structures is breath taking. They are small predators and many species engulf their prey items whole. Often confused with jellyfish, they are not believed to be closely related. In fact, how these creatures are related to other animals still requires more research. This individual was observed and collected at 700 meters depth (2, 296 feet) by the ROV and from the R/V Point Sur. The total length of this animal is 1cm (about .4 inches).
