Spotted Jelly or Lagoon Jelly (Mastigias papua)
It lives mainly in the southern Pacific Ocean. Instead of one single mouth, they appear to have several smaller mouth openings in their oral arms. These feed on zooplankton. In Japan—especially along Pacific coast areas - they are sold as novelty pets, along with photoautotrophic phytoplankton, and are called takokurage (タコクラゲ), or “octopod” or “rammer” jellies. They seem to have a lifespan of approximately 4 months and are active primarily in mid-summer to early-fall. (via: Wikipedia)

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance ... love will last forever!"
1 Corinthians 13:4–8
