GOLDEN JELLYFISH
                 Drawn to the light, Jellyfish in the genus Mastigias follow
                 the sunlight around their brackish lake home in Palau.
                 Stained golden-brown by algae in their tissues, they carry
                 their photosynthetic passengers to the best-lit areas. In return,
                 the algae provide them synthesized food. Isolated from the
                 sea, these jellyfish are found nowhere else in the world.
