Not a baby, they are normally only this big, it always surprises people as they expect them to be huge! actually they are not even technically jelly fish but colonial hydroids all living together under one float!

Hello. I am moving this from fish to the "other" group which is for organisms which do not fit into Noah's specific groups (like birds, mammals, fish, etc)
