By-the-WInd Blue Sailors aka Velella velella jellyfish #149814329
Description
Velella velella is a free-floating hydrozoan that lives on the surface of the open ocean. It is commonly known by the names Sea Raft, By-the-Wind Sailor, Purple Sail, Little Sail or simply Velella. These Velella were washed ashore at Cannon Beach, Oregon. WVelella velella to give them their scientific name are often assumed to be a type of jellyfish but, while biology does lump them in with jellyfish, sea anenomes, and corals in a group known as Cnidaria, Velellas are not all that closely related to the common or moon jellyfish
