On March 16, 2020, researchers aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's ship Falkor stumbled upon a beautiful *giant* Apolemia, a type of siphonophore, in the Indian Ocean off western Australia. The scientists are not sure of the exact length of the silly string-like creature, which was found in the Ningaloo Canyons at a depth of 2,070 feet (631 meters). However, based on the measurement of its outer ring by a laser-equipped drone, they estimate it was 150 feet (46 meters) long.

- tigerzeye4년 이상These are not jellyfish, or fish. Mainly known as the Giant Siphonophore, (the silly string looking one) the Potuguese Man O War is a Siphonophore as well, the most interesting one in my opinion, is also the most terrifying, i couldnt find the name but its stingers (i think stingers) are at its face and then it just once again starts to look like silly string.
