May 27, 2026
The Aurelia aurita, commonly known as the moon jellyfish, continues to captivate observers at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco with its distinct transparency and graceful movements.
Distinguishable by four rings visible at the center of its umbrella, the species is frequently carried by ocean currents. The jellyfish drifts at a slow pace, feeding primarily on plankton, a behavior that offers a display described as both soothing and hypnotic.
