- Title: Jellyfish
- Artist: Heaven_Leigh_Treasure

Description:
The Jellyfish, whilst not actually a fish belongs to the phylum Cnideria (pronounced nigh-deer-e-a) and includes several thousand different species.
Many jellyfish are capable of 'glowing' or bio-luminescence. This is due to the presence of fluorescent proteins.
Jellyfish lack fins, and move via the undulation of many limb-like tentacles. These tentacles often carry barbs, which are toxic to most animals and humans.

I don't know why, but I cried reading the description.
Maybe it's because of the compliments to the awesome avatar, or perhaps the fact you used impeccable grammar whilst explaining it.
Either or, you've received a 5 from me! - Report As Spam

Thanks for your comments so far smile
Sonic: Yeah, they have a pretty complicated life-cycle. Medusa, polyp, going from being attached on a rock to mobile. They're pretty amazing creatures ^ ^ - Report As Spam
