These mesmerizing creatures light up the ocean with their rainbow-like displays. Their delicate, translucent bodies and bioluminescent glow create a magical underwater spectacle that's truly captivating.

Despite their name, comb jellies are not actually jellyfish. They belong to their own phylum, Ctenophora, and differ significantly in structure and behavior.
They move using rows of tiny, hair-like cilia called "combs," which refract light, producing their signature shimmering effect.
Many species of comb jellies can produce their own light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This helps them attract prey and communicate in the dark depths of the ocean.
Comb jellies have been around for over 500 million years, making them one of the oldest animal groups still in existence today.
