These juvenile reef fish are using an unsuspecting jellyfish for protection as they make the perilous journey through the plankton until they find a suitable reef to call home. Of course, this is a risky strategy- just close enough to the jellyfish means protection, but one step too close means a painful death in the jellyfish’s stinging tentacles.
