Fish Using Jellyfish as Shelter
Jellyfish serve as a habitat to many ocean creatures… Jellyfish play a critical role in the lives of different marine creatures. While they are used as a direct food source for many, some use them as shelter (juvenile fish), some as a means of travelling from A to B and some have a combined interest of travelling while snacking on the microscopic parasites attached to the Jellyfish.
These symbiotic relationships are very intricate and are being investigated by scientists.
