We have been experiencing a bit of a baby (jellyfish) boom this year!

Jellyfish emerge from anemone-like animals called a polyp. These polyps release baby jellyfish, known as epyrae, in chains.

Check out this video of our Moon jellyfish emerging, the orange discs are the young jellyfish!

You can see our adult Moon jellies in our Cool Seas Zone.
