Rare Phantom Jellyfish Spotted in Deep Sea Near Argentina
Scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute have documented a rare sighting of the giant phantom jellyfish, Stygiomedusa gigantea, in the deep sea near Argentina. The jellyfish was filmed 250 meters below the surface in the South Atlantic Ocean. Known for its large size, the jellyfish can grow up to 1 meter in diameter with arms reaching up to 10 meters long. Unlike typical jellyfish, its arms are not stinging tentacles but are used to catch prey such as fish and plankton. The expedition also discovered 28 potential new species, including corals, sea urchins, and sea anemones.
