Take the plunge into some mauve stinger jelly magic with this deep-sea darling that’s bound to take the sting out of your day. But don’t let their elegant appearance fool you, these jellies can pack a powerful punch with bundles of stinging cells peppering both their tentacles and bell.

Like many drifters of the deep, mauve stingers linger in the depths of the ocean during the day and move up to the surface at night following their planktonic prey. This daily vertical movement of mostly zooplankton (animal plankton) from the depths to surface waters is the largest migration (in terms of biomass) on our big blue planet.
