A small, lone Sea Nettle (Chrysaora) jellyfish at Melbourne Aquarium, Australia. It was fascinating watching this guy move around his small tank, endlessly bobbing, weaving and changing direction. They are so different to anything else on this planet. I’d even say alien.

Wow….you’ve really nailed this one, Andrew!! Very different from the one with the blue background yesterday. I love the black background here and the detail of the jellyfish. Very well done.
Thanks heaps Wendi! Yeah, I actually didn’t realise this one turned out so clear and vibrant till I played around in Photoshop a a bit. Really glad you like it, much appreciated mate :)
