Moon Jelly (Aurelia aurita) These hardy little darlings can be identified by the transparent bell and four-leaf-clover-shaped gonads. The moon jelly will metamorphose multiple times throughout its life, producing offspring both sexually and asexually. (Bonus points if you can find the 6-gonad mutant in the background of this photo!)
