Freshwater Jellyfish - Craspedusta Sowerbii
Last few weeks have been really lucky in terms of photography. Found freshwater jellyfish in the cauvery river. This is only the third sighting of the species in India, and these are I think the only good photographs of this species in India. More about this here in today's Deccan Chronicle

More photographs here, here and here

In Denver they had a whole section on jellyfish in this aquarium I went to, and your photographs are museum quality. None of the photographs had them so small as this one, except for the tiny babies; Great photos.

These are freshwater ones, hence small. About 2cms

Wow. Did you find it in your drink at the bar or something? It looks like Lennart Neilssen's "drop of milk" photograph...lovely.

are sea water jelly fish more common? we saw a whole bunch in the water while we were waiting to get for a harbour cruise at Boston.
