Paul and all=2C I think your nice photo is of what most Maritimers call "s=
ea gooseberries" -- you were correct in calling it a comb jelly (Ctenophora=
phylum)=2C but the Latinized name=2C I think=2C is still Pleurobrachia pil=
eus.=20
Mertensia ovum is a new name for Beroe ovum=2C which is a comb jelly=2C all=
right=2C but is a different one from our common "sea gooseberry"=3B also P=
aul's site did not mention phylum Ctenophora for comb jellies=2C which are =
distant cousins of jellyfish=2C sea anemones=2C & corals).=20
I Googled "sea gooseberry" and got:
