Description
Chiropsoides quadrigatus is a transparent jellyfish with up to 8 flat, white colored white tentacles coming from each of four hand shaped pedalia. Dr. Jamie Seymour suggests that flat tentacles are made for catching fish, while round tentacles are made for catching prawn-like creatures. The jellyfish has a diameter of about 7.9 inches at maturity and possibly larger. Chiropsoides quadrigatus has eight leaf-shaped gonads.

“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all.
