A bloodybelly comb jelly, the ctenophore, Lampocteis. MBARI scientist George Matsumoto described this animal for the first time in the zoological literature. Because animals that are red appear black underwater, scientists believe the bloodybelly’s red belly helps mask bioluminescent light from the prey it has swallowed.
