It's amazing how much we still don't know about what lives on Planet Earth!

What do they eat?

Young feed on plants but adults eat fish eggs and small marine animals.

That's a beautiful creature. Thanks for posting. We are not short of jellyfish here.
Recently hundreds of Portuguese Man O'War arrived on our favourite beach. They too are quite beautiful....but best avoided. :-)

From Wikipedia:-

Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, with about 1.2 million or 14% documented, the rest not yet described. However, a 2016 report estimates an additional 1 trillion microbial species, with only 0.001% described.
