Jellyfish from horror to facination

I first became aware of jelly fish when I was 13 years old. I would swim in Sunny Cove outside of Seward Alaska. The water was cold and so was the air. There was a 4' by 6' piece of driftwood we pushed out into the cove so we could jump off. Before I jumped I always checked for jellyfish because in the summer the Lion's Mane jellys were thick and huge. The bell was the size of a dingy and the tentacles stretched 30 feet.

Cool new video from Monterey Bay Aquarium & fun post by Deep Sea News

Deep Sea News had a post titled "Squishy yet Elegant", that describes jelly fish perfectly.  They posted this video featuring scientists fro the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  It features elongated jellyfish relatives the siphonophores.  This links on video by KQED lead me to a new to me website on jellyfish called The Jellies Zone.  Who knows where the JelliesZone may lead me.
