Jellyfish becoming (with) Limaceous

Liminal Life



"A gelatinous, nearly transparent sea creature that resembles a jelly fish and a slug, known as a salp. The creatures have what appear to be green horns at one end and rows of muscles at the other end."


"Salps move through the ocean by contracting, thereby pumping water through their gelatinous bodies. The slimy creatures strain the pumped water through its internal feeding filters, feeding on phytoplankton in the process."
