Blue Blubbers

Scientific name: Catostylus mosaicus

Distribution: Eastern Australia and Southeast Asia

Blue blubbers form spectacular blooms in the estuaries and coastal waters of Eastern Australia. Usually Blue in Queensland waters, sometimes Catostylus can be brown or white in Southern waters.

Crystal Jellies

Distribution: Tropical to Subtropical Australian Waters

Scientific name: Aldersladia magnificus

The Crystal jelly is the largest hydrozoan sea jelly and is famous for its ability to produce a bright Green light (bioluminescence) around the edge of its bell. Bioluminescence is produced by a protein, called the 'Green Fluorescent Protein' or 'GFP'.

Moon Jellies

Distribution: Worldwide, except for polar regions

Scientific name: Aurelia aurita

The Moon Jelly is probably the world's most common sea jelly. This species is highly invasive and can tolerate a wide range of conditions: they can even thrive in heavily polluted waters with little oxygen.
