A Moon in Blue - Moon Jelly Portrait

A moon jelly’s translucent bell shines under blue aquarium lighting, revealing four pale, petal-like shapes at its center. Set against nearly black water, its delicate rim and fine radial details create an otherworldly portrait at Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. #EngelPhotography #MoonJelly #Jellyfish #JellyfishPhotography #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristi #MarineLife #AquariumPhotography
