Their golden colour comes from endosymbiotic algae, which provide nutrition for the medusae, as long as the jellies stay in the sun. Farondi Islands, Misool, Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia.

Golden Jellyfish - Nature's Shimmering Sun Seekers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the heart of a secluded island paradise, a mesmerizing sight awaits. Behold the stingless golden jellyfish, basking in the warm embrace of sunlight that filters through an enchanting marine lake. Their radiant golden hue is not merely for show; it is a testament to their symbiotic relationship with tiny algae. As these graceful creatures float effortlessly in the crystal-clear waters, they rely on their endosymbiotic algae companions for sustenance. The vibrant green algae harness the power of sunlight and convert it into nourishment, providing these delicate jellies with all they need to thrive – as long as they stay within reach of its luminous rays. Captured by Alex Mustard's lens, this moment showcases nature's ingenious collaboration between species. The backlit illumination creates an ethereal glow around each jellyfish, transforming them into living orbs of shimmering brilliance. Located amidst the Farondi Islands in West Papua, Indonesia's tropical West Pacific Ocean region, this snapshot transports us to a world where beauty knows no bounds. It reminds us that even in seemingly isolated corners of our planet, incredible wonders await those who dare to explore. So let your imagination dive deep into this aquatic wonderland and marvel at nature's masterpieces – where golden jellyfish dance under sunlit skies and remind us that sometimes all we need is a little sunshine to shine brightly ourselves.
