About	jsut want to meet the project of the month with that one. The ctenophore is a real strange invertebrate. According to the Washington zoo: What looks like a walnut, refracts light, and swims? The sea walnut, a kind of ctenophore (pronounced TEN-uh-fore) or comb jelly. The sea walnuts eat zooplankton and usually drift with the water current. They display rainbow colors when light hits their rows of moving cilia (short hair-like structures), which are used for locomotion. There are dozens of ctenophore species.

It could be used in a Alien movie without any change.

Beautiful image, Jacques. The suspended particles add to that feel of drifting mystery.
