Jellyfish gyroscopes to orient the eyes skyward. Certain jellyfish look upward at the mangrove canopy while making a daily migration from mangrove swamps into the open lagoon, where they feed, and back again. Box jellyfish have more advanced vision than the other groups. Each individual has 24 eyes, two of which are capable of seeing colour, and four parallel information processing areas that act in competition, supposedly making them one of the few kinds of animal to have a 360-degree view of its environment. Jellyfish range from about one millimeter in bell height and diameter, to nearly in bell height and
Jellyfish Lake the thickness of the sediment (at least 20 meters) and the rising sea level since the end of the last ice age. About 12,000 years ago, the sea level had risen to the point that sea water began to fill the Jellyfish Lake basin. Two species of scyphozoan jellyfish live in Jellyfish Lake, moon jellyfish ("Aurelia" sp.) and the golden jellyfish ("Mastigias" sp.). The golden jellyfish are most closely related to the spotted jellyfish ("Mastigias papua") that inhabit the nearby lagoons. They are similar to the spotted jellyfish in that they derive part of their nutrition from symbiotic algae (Zooxanthellae)
