The Jellyfish Display at the Manila Ocean Park

Visited on March 2010

Manila Ocean Park

Notes from the Author.  Catch the new Jellyfish display at the Manila Ocean Park this summer.    Just got a preview today of the so-called “dancing sea fairies”.   Really magical to watch.

One of the jellyfish featured was the Blubber Jellyfish.  They were placed in light changing aquariums.  Since the Jellyfish is a semi-transparent creature, the colored lights pass thru their skins, and the effect is amazing!    (Reminds me a bit of the lava lamp.)

See the Jellyfish glow in the dark…

Jellyfish  Dramatic in Red!

One of the jellyfish which I found interesting  is  the ‘immortal jellyfish’ because it has the ability to return to it’s juvenile stage, thus, it never dies, until it gets eaten. 

Some facts about the Jellyfish:  They dont’ have eyes, noses, ears or brains.  They only have tiny sensors.   I’m not sure whether they have the ability to feel pain or fear, because even bugs can sense fear. 

Of course, the Manila Ocean Park is known for housing different aquatic animals, especially fish.
