Golden jellyfish

Mastigias papua etpisoni

Description:

The golden jellyfish is found in the marine "Jellyfish lake" on Mecherchar island in Palau. Being long separated from predators in this environment, the jellyfish have evolved to have minimal stinging cells, and can be enjoyed by snorkelers without pain.
