The mangrove jellyfish always appears to be the wrong way round or upside down but in acctual fact that is one of the beauties of the jellyfish. It will lie in the water pretending to be dead or asleep when actually the jellyfish is supposed to be like this and when its pray comes near it will reach out its tentacles and electricute the pray.
