Unlike many jellyfish, Sea Gooseberries do not sting. The sticky bristles on the trailing tentacles capture small crustaceans, fish eggs and larvae, and other tiny animals. The tentacles then contract and wipe the prey off on the mouth, which immediately swallows it.
Look For: Small, floating, egg-shaped jelly-like creatures, usually in swarms near shore. Two tentacles.
