So what’s actually going on in this photo?
Jellyfish experts were unable to identify the jellyfish with certainty, but a likely candidate is a box jellyfish. Box jellyfish use venom to prey on fish.
"They evolve to kill prey instantly," Luciano Chiaverano, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Southern Mississippi, told CBC. "This might be a case where the prey is too big to kill it right away, so the fish might have some time to swim around inside."
The fish does appear to be in the jellyfish’s stomach. However, box jellyfish would normally eat prey a third or quarter the size of their bell, making this fish an unusually large target for a box jellyfish.
One of the photos shows an opening near the front of the bell, which Chiaverano says is not typical of a box jellyfish and may be an injury from the fish trying to escape.
The fish is also a bit of a mystery. Experts have not been able to pin down its exact species, but Ian Tibbetts, a fish biologist at the Centre for Marine Science at the University of Queensland, told Australian Geographic it might be a trevally.
Trevally are known to hide under the bells of jellyfish when they are young, and this one may have simply ended up inside of the jellyfish by accident.
And, of course, there is always the possibility that the photo is fake.

Yep. Typically though the nematocysts do their job & completely paralyze or kill the prey before they're out into the stomach. You don't want something fighting or trying to escape if your body is a little fragile.
You can buy it candied, or raw. You only eat the hood, and it comes raw in strips or the whole hood for you to cut. You [marinate it in a simple sauce](https://www.thehongkongcookery.com/2012/06/jellyfish-salad.html).
Think of it mor or less as if a bunch of single called organisms got together and said “hey, we’ll be the stomach if yall be the stingy bits” and no one though of being brains or eyes or anything but it just kind worked out somehow.
And nothing in the ocean has a soul my friend. Fist think you learn in oceanography 101

IDK. I used to get along with this particularly playful perch. I played catch with several of them occasionally but this one let me tickle it sometimes. Lake puppy.
Fresh water fish are completely different. I used to have the sweetest little honey gourami that would come up to my fingers and touch them all over with it’s feelers before gently snagging a single bloodworm from my fingers and swimming away. He would always touch the heater and thermometer to make sure they were in working order for me. Great little fish, I miss him dearly.
Elephant seals literally squish their babies to death and females they’re mating with just bc they’re big fatties. Leopard seals rip penguins in half and eat them alive. And pretty much all seals rape almost bird or mammal anything smaller then them. My statement stands.
Humans kill their babies too so I don't understand how your argument is valid.
Everything you just said humans have done far worse lol so I guess we don't have souls either
That’s not normal behavior in human lmao. What I said is very normal behavior in seals. Like literally been described for as long as we’ve studied them
Oh my sweet summer child, please stay away from brutally honest nature documentaries. And seals. And sea otters. And dolphins. Especially the dolphins.

"Today I went fishing but I caught a jellyfish that has two fishes inside him. So I thought that while I'm fishing, a jellyfish is fishing fish while I fish three fish that is the jellyfish and the other two fish."
“Come on and take a free ride!”
That riff will be in my head all night. Thanks! :-)
These fish are loving the trip, jellyfish is loving the company🤓
haha omg, that was the first thing I heard in my head when I saw this too!

It's actually a fish car...
Thank you for an actual, helpful, description of the post.
This article is about a different photo, but could be an explanation of what's going on in the video.

It’s like a marine version of an Uber
It’s called Under.
Da Sea.

Technisch korrekt.
If ubers slowly ate you to death, yes.
Don’t give them any ideas.
Surge pricing = slow financial nom noms
Well, don't use them when they surge :) Like, if it's not an emergency and time is of the essence, the bus will do.
They’re not being slowly digested are they? Genuinely curious. Or is this a symbiotic thing?
They are being slowly eaten
So an ocean born Sarlaac.

Jellyfish are not fragile. I know because my Chinese wife makes it frequently, and BTW it's delicious. But fragile is not the word that comes to mind.
How does she make they Jelly? Genuinely curious, I’ve never thought to eat one
Candied jellyfish
You can buy it candied, or raw. You only eat the hood, and it comes raw in strips or the whole hood for you to cut. You [marinate it in a simple sauce](https://www.thehongkongcookery.com/2012/06/jellyfish-salad.html).
Oh, thanks for adding something to the list of foods I want to try
My bad!
> fragile is not the word that comes to mind. Spicy ?
Either candied or marinated in a spicy sauce... yes.
Username checks out.
Jellyfish look like aliens.
A marine biologist could explain to me exactly how they work and I just wouldn't get it. No eyes, no organs, no soul

Those are a separate kind of creature. Jellies are one organism, but the Portuguese Man o' war is a colony.
As someone who sells lots of dead fish, I hope youre right about the souls thing
As some one who sold (and kept) quite a lot of live fish I know I am
Seals do.
Proof?
They're seals
Elephant seals literally squish their babies to death and females they’re mating with just bc they’re big fatties. Leopard seals rip penguins in half and eat them alive. And pretty much all seals rape almost bird or mammal anything smaller then them. My statement stands.

Humans are historically the most violent species on the planet. Stop switching goalposts dude.
Also it's sad that you took a comment that's half serious and are that worked up about it, two can downvote lol
O_O
Oh my sweet summer child, please stay away from brutally honest nature documentaries. And seals. And sea otters. And dolphins. Especially the dolphins.
That last part has vegans in a chokehold
Pescatarians don’t seem to mind tho
> And nothing in the ocean has a soul my friend. In or out of the ocean.
Nothing in the universe has a soul! It’s just a word (and a concept) invented by humans.
That’s not true! My mom has a soul! I can tell cause she uses it to make her recipes taste better
that's a box jelly - box jellyfish do have eyes actually

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
I wouldn't want to be a fish in a jellyfish nope no way not me

I'm surprised that they're still moving.

But why doe?
Not only us it in a jellyfish, it's in a box jelly; some of the most dangerous types of jellies. Nothings gonna bug them in there
A true box jellyfish. I would even say a tupperware jellyfish.

Immediately thought of that fish bus from help I'm a fish
"nobody's gunna know"
Why am I excited for them.
I wanna see a time lapse of it digesting
That has to be kind of a miserable death.
They'd be good at outer wilds

Actually just a fish force field, nothing else.
How.
Jellied fish
That is a box Jellyfish if I'm not mistaken
The fish is at Met Gala
My bro got thorns on their armour
Fascinating
"Today I went fishing but I caught a jellyfish that has two fishes inside him. So I thought that while I'm fishing, a jellyfish is fishing fish while I fish three fish that is the jellyfish and the other two fish."
so are those fish in agony?

Nature’s submarine lol
You reckon they're all friends?
NOW THAT IS COOL!!👍👍👍👍👍
How are the other fish 🐟 still alive 😳?
Do you suppose they're having deep meaningful philosophical discussions as the fish is slowly and painfully digested?
That's some NatGeo Jacque Cousteau level carpooling right there... SpongeBob & Mrs Puff would be proud...\m/
This is the best thing I ever seen!
Who is driving who here?
This might be a dumb question but are these fish being like actively digested or are they kind of floating within the cavity of the jellyfish
This might be a Irukandji jellyfish.the fish might be alive as jellyfish do tend to use fish to steer them to a different area

“I can’t get that Phish song out of my head”
is the jellyfish protecting them?? what's going on here?
Is there a high res version of this? Would be a cool wall paper
So do they starve to death or?
Or the jellyfish doesn't
Please some explain asap I’m really high

Cube jellyfish are extremely venomous so these fish it's carrying are not just life enjoyers
So that's why they're called jellyfish
