*stares at polyp*
*stares at Haootia* Err, they're both orange and have fluffy ends, but polyps are bigger? Jellyfish are really pretty <3 |
I've got a fictional alien race that look like giant polyps. They don't see with eyes, but with sonar, and with low level unharmful radiation. Kind of like the things that people use for oil well imaging.
|
Sounds scary but badass at the same time.
Things with no eyes scare me... |
Essentially, both are Cnidarians...but it was thought for some time that Haootia exhibited Neoteny - keeping features from the sexually immature stage into adulthood. Some species do this for an evolutionary benefit - it allows them to fill a niche and compete not with the adults, but the children of a competing species.
This is a better polyp picture: ...I'll note that this thought is not certain. Haootia is only known from a few samples from over 500 million years ago, and information changes rapidly as more is gathered/found. Still...neat? |
Yes, Law, neat!
Mdom, they're not scary or badbutt, they're light-hearted detail nuts who chatter worse than a squad of cheerleaders on a sugar overdose. I'm weird. LOL |
...the pun in me wants to say "chatter worse than a squid of cheerleaders" and then have cephalopod cheerleaders.
"Give me a S!" |
LMBO. And now I'm reminded of the kraken that live in the gas giant.
|
Lol x'D!
Polyps in that picture look like glass <3. Although, when I think about it, I never know if jellyfish are colored or it's the lighting. |
Some jellies have some colour of their own, I think. Have you ever seen pictures or footage of the ones that live in that poisonous landlocked sea?
|
I didn't know poisonous landlocked seas existed :o.
*goes to search images* EDIT: Err, which poisonous landlocked sea. But I found jellyfish with colors xD. Sea nettles! |
|
Oh wow! I did not know about that, Tam! Awesome!
|
:D I learnt about it from a documentary on TV long long ago. Divers like to go swimming in it, even though it's so dangerous because of all the nitrogen in the water. (I think that's the danger. Can't fully recall now. I just know there's a danger to it) The little jellyfish are all sizes, and it's really neat to watch them swim past the camera.

Well, good in one way and having a realization of how genetically bad I am on the other. Visual snow and all.

Everything's better when they sparkle.

I dunno about that, Mdom. Slug slime sparkles.
