Jellyfish Behavior

This is an animation showing the feeding habits of Nanomia cara (a pelagic, or mid-water, colonial jellyfish also known as a siphonophore). Nanomia feeds on small oceanic crustaceans including the very numerous copepods shown as their prey in this animation. Jellyfish play a very important role in oceanic foodwebs.
