Flower Hat Jellyfish


This creature is a type of Jellyfish called “Flower Hat”, its tentacles coil up when not in use, and it makes it resemble like a flower’s bouquet. It’s found in Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. Link

Corynactis


It looks like a bouquet of little flowers, but unfortunately, it is not! It’s an animal! Link

Sea Lily


These are marine animals found in shallow waters, and in depths of 6,000 meters. These animals are attached to the bottom by a stalk, which makes them look like a flower in the see… Pretty cool! Link
