Moon Jellies are in the genus Aurelia and have a world-wide distribution. The species are closely related and require genetic sampling to identify. The four rings in the body are the animal’s gonads. Stinging cells paralyze its prey, which are then hauled up by tentacles to the digestive system. They are poor swimmers, and can not usually move against the current. Olympia: 16 December 2019.
