Article body
These jellyfish drift closer to the shore to catch the large abundance of plankton with their tentacles. Blue jellyfish age can be identified by color of their bell. They tend to be pale in appearance when young, but mature to have a brightly purple-blue (some yellow) colored bell. These blue jellyfish live for less than a year. Although it is similar to the lion's mane jellyfish, the blue jellyfish is not as large, and has a translucent bell. Cyanea lamarkii use their tentacles containing nematocysts to not only catch their prey, but to protect from predators.
