Watch greater Pacific moon jellies (Aurelia labiata) move with the current as they pulse their delicate, translucent bells in our Drifters gallery. Moon Jelly Cam is live every day from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Pacific time.

The several species of moon jellies are common throughout the global ocean. The greater Pacific moon jelly is a seasonal visitor to Monterey Bay, and it can be distinguished by its clear bell, four horseshoe-shaped gonads that are purple or pink when gravid, and a fine mesh of stinging stinging tentacles they use to catch planktonic prey. At the Aquarium, different foods affect their coloration; if they feed extensively on crustaceans, they’ll turn pink or lavender. An orange tint hints that they’ve been feeding on brine shrimp.

We also have a sea nettle Chrysaora fuscescens Jelly Cam:    • Live Jelly Cam - Monterey Bay Aquarium
