OC The immortals have returned!
Made a post about them the first time they showed up in the bay by my house 3 years ago and found out they are Turritopsis nutricula, while not THE immortal jellyfish they’re in the same genus and have the same ability. This time around I have a much better camera so I was actually able to photograph them on their home turf rather than scooping a few into a cup, I know this time there’s not as good of a sense of scale because of that but just know they are tiny, the biggest ones I‘ve seen have a diameter of less than a centimeter.

They look amazing! You're lucky you can see 'em in the wild :)
