Spotted Jellyfish (Mastigias papua)
Also known as the lagoon jellyfish or takokurage, the spotted jellyfish is a species of jellyfish found throughout the Indo-Pacific. Unlike other jellies the spotted jelly has several small mouth openings on their oral arms instead of one large one in the middle. They also have colonies of symbiotic algae in its tissues which gives it a greenish color and food for it to eat, however they will also eat zooplankton that they catch with their arms.
