Aequorea victoria

Aequorea victoria, also called the crystal jelly, is a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish found off the west coast of North America, from the Bering Sea to southern California, with particular abundance in Puget Sound. It is almost entirely transparent and colorless, with up to 150 tentacles and roughly 100 radial canals in mature individuals. The species is best known as the natural source of two proteins central to modern biology, the photoprotein aequorin and green fluorescent protein, both involved in its bioluminescence; the discovery and development of green fluorescent protein as a laboratory tool earned Osamu Shimomura and colleagues the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
