    DIET: Small crustaceans and other zooplankton.

    FACT: Sea jellies do not have a brain as we know it. Instead, these ocean drifters have a ring of nerves called a nerve net, which transmits information about its surroundings throughout their body. Over 90% of their body is water, together with a gelatinous substance that gives them structure. Each White Spotted Sea Jelly has four clumps of oral arms with downward hanging appendages. On each arm are many small mouth openings that capture zooplankton as they filter the sea water. Each White Spotted Sea Jelly can filter more than 50 cubic meters of seawater every day.
