Jellies are on the menu for this dazzling drifter 💛🪼⁠ ⁠ Egg-yolk jellies (Phacellophora camtschatica) can grow up to 2 feet in diameter and have hundreds of tentacles that extend over 20 feet. They hang nearly motionless in the water, letting their long tentacles do the work of catching their prey.

Full-on weekend vibes, but make it squid 🦑〰️⁠ ⁠ Market squid (Doryteuthis opalescens) are common along the central coast of California, especially when they migrate into shallow waters to spawn. They use their two longer tentacles to catch prey like krill, small fishes, and other juvenile squids.
