Talk about a big bite!
Here, a white-spotted rose anemone clings to and attempts to ingest a
moon jelly in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Although the
jelly is twice the size of the anemone, most of the jelly is water, so
it’s not an impossibly large meal. While moon jellies are usually open
ocean species, sometimes oceanographic conditions bring them closer to
shore – and into the mouths of creatures like this anemone. (Photo: Steve Lonhart/NOAA)
