Mauve stinger, Pelagia noctiluca (40 cm)

A single jellyfish makes only a tiny ripple in the world’s oceans but when millions upon millions of them move vertically, they help to mix up the ocean waters from various depths. Researchers placed a fluorescent dye in front of a jellyfish. To their surprise, rather than swimming through it, the jellyfish appeared to pull the dyed water along with it.
