Comb Jellies
At the Aquarium in the Mall of America.
Due to the low lighting for much of the tour and the inability to use a flash, I decided that ideo might be the best way to capture some of these.
These are just gorgeous. The streaming color lines are due to the cilia they use to swim catching the tank light as they move. Their bodies are more tulip-shaped than bell-shaped.
There was a handout for the jellyfish section that had all sorts of great info on the animals in the tanks, but I lost it somewhere. I think the species I've listed are right, though.
