Summary[edit]

Description So here it is then, the Blue Blubber Jelly. The jelly blubber (Catostylus mosaicus), also known as the blue blubber jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish from coastal regions in the Indo-Pacific. It is the most commonly encountered jellyfish along the Australian eastern coast and large swarms sometimes appear in estuarine waters. In Sydney waters, the jelly blubber's large bell is a creamy white or brown colour, but farther north in Australia it is usually blue. The colours are derived from pigment produced by the jellyfish itself. There is no obvious mouth on the underside, but there are small openings on each arm, through which food is passed to the stomach.The tentacles also have stinging cells that can capture tiny crustaceans and other plankton. Blue Blubber Jelly can grow to a diameter of 30–45 cm. Their sting can be painful but generally poses no serious risk to humans. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015)
