What is My Trachyphyllia Doing?

[nickkohrn]

My Trachyphyllia sends out long, white, filaments at night. I’ve never seen one do this before. Are they sweeper tentacles? I’ll notice them retract very quickly sometimes. They tend to be extremely long, measuring around 6-7”.


Sorry for the quality of the video, but I can’t change YouTube’s compression algorithm.

Yup those are the sweeper tentacles

Yup those are the sweeper tentacles

I guess I better work on giving it some more room tomorrow then. I’ve never seen a Trachyphyllia extend them, so I was concerned.

I appreciate the confirmation!
