Blue button jellies (Porpita porpita) float on the ocean's surface. They can be as large as the palm of your hand and are generally found far out to sea. But they do occasionally wash in shore. I found these on the beach in southern Texas! #marinebiology #marinescience #oceanscience #oceanlife #jellyfish #rainbow #nature #science #macrodiving #macrophotography #blackwaterphotography #corpuschristi #padreisland #padreislandnationalseashore #galveston #texas | Open Ocean Exploration

These visually stunning invertebrates are known as the Blue Button or Porpita porpita (back) and the Blue Dragon or Glaucilla marginata (front). They live partly in air and partly in water, relying on the wind to move them throughout the ocean in search of prey, which is sometimes each other! I came across these two washed ashore in the Great Barrier Reef and couldn’t take my eyes off them! 🎥 @jacintashackleton . . . . #ocean #seacreatures #weird #porpitaporpita #glaucillamarginata #weirdandwon

📸: snorkeldownunder · The mesmerizing porpita porpita, or blue button, is a hermaphrodite with two main body structures: the float and the hydroid colony. The float is the main part of the body, which is a golden brown color and circular shape. The hydroid colony are the branches that extend out and look like tentacles. The blue button grows up to 3 cm (30mm) in diameter. They're #CuteAsAButton 😉 Many refer to them as the "blue button jellyfish" but that is deceiving, as they are not jellyfish
