      Yes, the photo was taken from our deck! And, yes, we do know how lucky we are. The other pics I took of this sea jelly were also taken from our deck. Posted 4 months ago, modified 4 months ago

The Crystal Jelly

"Aequorea victoria", also sometimes called the crystal jelly, is a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa, that is found off the west coast of North America. The species is best known as the source of two proteins involved in bioluminescence, aequorin, a photoprotein, and green fluorescent protein.
