Cross Jelly, Mitrocoma cellularia

                                                                                                                      Back to Jellies of the Salish Sea

This is a fairly common jelly and it can sometimes be seen in large congregations.  Its transparency is perhaps its best defense — often they make themselves noticeable when  one sees the surface of the sea pulsating or an anemone happens to attach itself to its bell.  Though they may initially be mistaken for  Mitrocomella polydiademata, Umbrella Jellies or Gregarious Jellies, they get much larger (up to several inches or 100 mm).  For more images and a thorough description see inaturalist‘s taxonomy section.
