Very nice. The deep blue and the earthy colors of the jellyfish make
for some pretty pictures.

Well done Marnie, really really nice. I know you shot them the right
way
up, but not being Marine Boy, I always see jellyfish with legs
dangling
down. Try rotating a couple through 180 :-)

I thought this when I first saw Bruce's(?) shots but it is standard
jellyfish
behaviour. They go deep in daylight. If the pictures are inverted (I
tried
it
with earlier shots) they (mostly - it could work with some shots) look
really
wierd, because the sun appears to be coming from underneath.

You know, I've been thinking about it. A friend and I were discussing
stinging jelly fish and he directed to me to a page about the Sea Wasp
(Australia).
Which evidentially swims mainly up with tentacles trailing down (think
that is
what I read).
So maybe the answer doesn't have to do with what type of jelly fish it
is.
Maybe it has to do with the currents in the water -- like ocean
currents. Maybe
jelly fish mainly swim with the current, if the current is up, it
swims up, if
it is down, it swims down. (Of course, they would eventually have to
go the
other way, but the tendency is probably to go with the current.)
I really don't know, and not sure I want to bother to research it. :-)
But it
would make sense. And it would make sense that the current in the tank
was
directed downward so they wouldn't all cluster near the top of the
water
(although some did anyway), but swim down so people could see them.
