Plants and animals that live in the world's oceans.

The ocean covers 71% of the Earth, and yet we know virtually nothing about it. What is the bloop? What lurks in the darkness among the anglers and the vampire squid? If you find something cool, interesting, bizarre - anything that is related to the ocean that sparks your interest - please, mention it here.


/r/oceans also shares news, information and conservation articles about the ocean, so check it out if you're interested!

help me identify this

what is this jellyfish?????

i saw this ages ago at noosa beach in australia queensland and i cannot for the life of me figure out what it is, for reference it was about 45cm in diameter, the tentacles are very thin and long and the colour was purple/blueish, the top bit (the part that looks like a mushroom bulb on top of jellyfish) had like multiple layers i think. i wasn’t game enough to touch it or move it for better photos so if someone can identify that would be amazing!!!

p.s. i don’t know anything about jellyfish but this one really intrigued me, we had a lot of blue bottles and box jellyfish washed up on the shore as we normally do in australia around summertime, but this was genuinely the biggest I have ever seen on the shore of australia in my life. Please help me find out what it is as I have not stopped thinking about it for about 2 months now

p.s.x2 i have a video too if anyone wanted to watch it for better reference

thank you!!!!!!!!!!! hope all you jellyfish experts can help educate me I have found a new love for marine life it is such a big mystery and super intriguing to learn about them

HELP!

I accidentally brought home mr crabs and I am afraid he/she won’t survive. Is there anything I can do to help keep him/her alive ? I do not own a salt fish tank, let alone know how to keep one up and going.
