flisswave<p>Velella velella back on the north Oregon coast! Got to the beach this morning and there were slippery smelly drifts of them covering the sand. They're so cool - so blue and strange. I don't even mind the smell. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/velellavelella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>velellavelella</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/by" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>by</span></a>-the-wind-sailor <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/hydrozoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hydrozoa</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/marinelife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marinelife</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ocean</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/beach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beach</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/phoneography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phoneography</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/oregoncoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oregoncoast</span></a></p>

Warren Currie 🦠🦐<p>Pretty but do not touch. The "blue button jellyfish" Porpita porpita are not in fact true <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/jellyfish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jellyfish</span></a>, but are rather in class <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Hydrozoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hydrozoa</span></a> as a small colony of specialized individuals (outer individuals contain the tentacles with stinging nematocysts). The taxonomy is complicated, but they belong to an order of athecate hydroids (Anthoathecata). This grouping has gone through lots of changes in taxonomy, so textbooks can be quite varied. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/MarineBiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarineBiology</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/07/09/1186664798/blue-button-jellyfish-texas-beaches?utm_medium=JSONFeed&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_source=press.coop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npr.org/2023/07/09/1186664798/</span><span class="invisible">blue-button-jellyfish-texas-beaches?utm_medium=JSONFeed&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_source=press.coop</span></a></p>
