Hundreds of thousands of By-the-wind-sailors (Velella velella; which are an unusual floating colonial athecate hydroid) just blanketing Asilomar this morning 🤯 They're making the waves thick with their doomed corpses. There was also a bonus Gulfweed Crab (Planes minutus) hanging around.
The researchers named it Burgessomedusa phasmiformis. The species name means “ghostly form” because they thought it looks like the ghosts from #Pac-#Man.
There is some dispute, but this may be the oldest known sea jelly, and is important to our understanding of the #evolution of #animals.
