Scientific name: Cassiopea xamachana Location: Bonaire Copyright: © Riesch / gtphoto 832-526-1123 gtphoto@shaw.ca AGPix ID: AGPix_GrTePh23_1896 Digital Original Comments: In the mangroves, still waters and shallow sand bottoms throughout the West Indies you find these jellies laying upsidedown. In a symbiotic relationship the exposed tentacles speed growth of zoozanthellae algae in their tissue, in return the jelly receives part of it's nourishment from the zoozanthellae. Bonaire.
