 You are looking at a live images of our moon jelly exhibit (the lights are turned off at night). The animal on display is the Oregon moon jelly, Aurelia labiata. |

||
| The umbrella shaped body is called a bell. | |||
| Along the edges of the bell are the jelly's fringelike tentacles | |||
| Hanging from the center of the bell are the jelly's lacy oral arms, covered with stinging cells. | |||
| The purplish clover pattern in the middle of the jelly's bell are its gonads or reproductive organs. | |||
| If the camera is just right you might spot what looks like purple popcorn under one of the jellies' bell. What you are seeing are the newly hatched larvae of a female jelly. | |||
