  • Upside Down Jellyfish (Cassiopea xamachana) photographed in Belize, Central America. Unlike other jellyfish that must hunt for their food, the upside down jelly depends on unicellular algae, zooxanthellae, for nutrition. The algae lives on the jelly and for this reason the invertebrate lives upside down, so the algae can absorb as much sunlight as possible.
