About Comb Jellies

Comb jellies are transparent, gelatinous marine invertebrates drifting in oceans worldwide.
They are among the oldest multicellular organisms, existing for over 500 million years.
Unique Locomotion: Comb jellies are named for their eight rows of comb-like plates made from fused cilia (tiny hair-like structures), which propel them through water. They are the largest animals known to move using cilia.
Feeding Mechanism: They have two long, branching tentacles that resemble a net of sticky filaments, trapping prey and drawing it towards their bodies.
Bioluminescence: Many comb jellies are bioluminescent, capable of emitting a soft blue or green glow when touched.
