‘The red paper lantern medusa has a transparent, bell-shaped
hood measuring about 10 centimeters in diameter and 17
centimeters from top to bottom, with between 14 and 30 tentacles
that extend up to 6 times the length of its body. Inside the
transparent hood is a deep red colored mantle that can crumple
up or expand like a paper lantern, hence the name. JAMSTEC
researcher Dr. Dhugal Lindsay is credited with coming up with
the name. The Next Layer is powered by http://drupal.org and
