I have no brain but I’m quite smart,
My venom gives a painful start.
With cube-like bells, I swim with grace,
In Aussie waters, I take my place.
Glowing softly in the night,
My tentacles give a harmless bite.
A lunar name I surely bear,
Drifting gently through the air (of the sea)!
My flowing locks are long and bright,
The Arctic seas are my delight.
The biggest jelly you can see,
My name roars wild, just like me!
A creature small but quite profound,
I cheat old age and turn around.
When I grow old, I start anew,
Eternal life—it’s really true!
I sail the waves, though not alone,
With stinging tentacles I have grown.
Though called a “jelly,” that’s not right,
I’m a drifting colony in sight!
A deep-sea dweller, flashing bright,
I glow like sirens in the night.
A crown upon my head I wear,
A royal jelly floating there!
I like to rest upon the sand,
With tentacles up, it’s how I stand.
I pulse and sway beneath the blue,
Instead of floating, I rest—who knew?
A little small, but quite a sight,
My colors glow, so bold and bright.
A “hat” I wear upon my head,
Though touching me, you’ll wish you fled!
Not quite clear, nor white or red,
A tinted hue upon my head.
I swarm in groups near Aussie shores,
A pulsing blue that ocean adores!
My purple glow may catch your eye,
But don’t get close—just float on by!
I pack a sting, though small in size,
And light up like the evening skies.
Golden bell and flowing trails,
I dance where ocean currents sail.
Though beautiful, don’t get too near,
My sting will make you shed a tear!
A breakfast name, a yellow crown,
I drift so slow, I won’t sink down.
A yolky top, a lazy flow,
I live where colder waters go!
I’m big and pink, but don’t be fooled,
I dine on jellies—some get schooled!
A rare surprise beneath the sea,
My name is fun, describing me!
In the dark, I shimmer bright,
A glowing spark, a neon light.
Beware my sting, though small I seem,
In ocean depths, I softly gleam.
A cousin of nettles, yet striped with flair,
My long, thin tendrils float with care.
Found near Japan, I love the tide,
In deep-sea waters, I like to glide.
A giant beast beneath the waves,
I drift where mighty currents pave.
As big as cars, I take up space,
In Asian seas, I claim my place.
Deep and dark, where few can see,
A forceful name was given to me.
With hooded shape and eerie glow,
I roam where cold deep waters flow.
