Can you tell the difference between A. labiata & A. aurita? Look closely as the labiata comes from behind the 5” diameter aurita… the labiata has a much thicker bell & profile than the aurita. A.labiata also has 16 scallops around its perimeter & the aurita only has 8 scallops. The labiata has more propulsion & bells stronger than the aurita, which tends to drift more & just hang out at times. This labiata is only 4.5” diameter right now, but they can get up to 18” diameter, where the aurita will get to about 9” diameter. A. labiata also develops a chunky “manubrium” that the aurita does not develop. I’ll try to get good examples for you of the manubrium as it beefs up & becomes more prominent!

A recent documentary from PBS includes a fascinating clip of an octopus changing colors while sleeping. The marine biologist involved in Octopus: Making Contact thinks that the sea creature was dreaming about hunting, which sparked the color shift to a camouflaged shade. Dr. David Scheel describes h

What’s a jellyfish’s favorite food? ...Baby brine shrimp!

Harvested by hand in small batches by local artisans (a.k.a. our lab tech), our Frozen Jellyfish Food is the cleanest and most nutritious food available for jellyfish.
