Jelly & Fish

Description:

A large Jelly with 2 small juvenile fish in the shelter of it's bell.

Notes:

I believe this is an example of symbiosis, with the fish eating algae and other irritations for the jelly, and the jelly providing protection for the fish. Interesting to note that it is 2 different types of fish.
