First spring jellies!

Description and Comments

Today I saw the first of the spring jellies here off the dock, presumably transported in from the open ocean: one large Pleurobrachia bachei and 1 large Sarsia princeps. These two jellies were joined by 1 small pteropod Clione limacina and 5 swimming syllid worm epitokes, some with egg masses on their bellies.
