How do comb jellies reproduce?
Unlike jellyfish, comb jellies develop without distinctive larval and polypoid stages. The two comb jelly species are difficult to distinguish from each other when they are young. Other facts about comb jellies: • Comb jellies will easily break apart when taken out of water. If you find a comb jelly and would like to view its true shape, gently scoop it out of the water with a clear container and view it through the sides of the container. • When disturbed at night, the jellies’ combs will glow a soft green color. • Even though they are both comb jellies, the pink comb jelly is actually a predator of the sea walnut. • While sea nettles and other stinging jellyfish are more well-known to humans, comb jellies are much more abundant in the Bay.
