Apropos jellyfish symmetry, I saw a couple of trilaterally symmetric jellyfish in the Flensburg harbor this summer. Here’s a picture of one (center right): https://imgur.com/a/m5tdh
I wonder the same! It’s almost like a reverse version of Four-Leaf Clovers. (I’m not a biologist, just a dude with a camera.)
40 minutes later, I was able to catch three of them in one picture. (One is right by the flag reflected in the water, the second jellyfish is below it, and the third is below that again, partially hidden by the dock): https://imgur.com/a/rrCff
One of the rings in the center jellyfish looks slightly elongated, almost as if two rings have melded together, but I have no idea if that’s even possible. For all I know it’s just a normal irregularity.

Oh, neat! I hadn’t heard of modern species with trilateral symmetry before, I wonder if it’s a mutation or developmental defect?
