Image: Mauve Stinger jellyfish
Description: The Pelagia noctiluca jellyfish featured is a marine organism with the ability to glow in the dark. Light is emitted in the form of flashes when the medusa is stimulated by turbulence created by waves or by a ship's motion. This is typically an offshore species, although sometimes it is washed near the coastlines as was the case here. It was found in the Bronte-Coogee Aquatic Reserve which is centred on the extensive rocky shores and nearshore reefs of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Taken with a compact Canon G10 camera.
