#MarineMonday 🌊 Compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella)🧜 It feeds on small fish, crabs and even other jellyfish even though you often see young fish swimming around it's tentacles, giving them protection from predators. We're not yet sure why they don't get stung and eaten by the jellyfish, though! Don't forget they give a nasty sting, so if you spot them during a visit to the beach make sure to keep your distance! Once they have stung something, jellyfish often leave the tentacle behind and can continue to sting using it even when not to connected to their body (!) ⚡ They can be found around the South and West Coast in the summer months ☀️ (Adapted from WT) . #marinescience #jellyfish #clearwaters #ukwaters #cornwall #marinelife #jelly #compassjellyfish #ocean #sea #animal #factoftheday #oceanlover #saveouroceans #awesome #ukmarineanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQL6rRH0OE/?igshid=kkz85o8ho4ab
