Root Branching Jelly, Cladonema californicum is a relatively “new” jelly — recently described.  The jellies photographed here were found on the underside of thick beds of leaf kelp in a shallow bay on Pender Island.  They were so tiny that it was their simple jumping movement that alerted me enough to be able to see them through a microscopic setting on my camera.  They were both actively feeding on miniscule copepods.  When I get a moment I will upload a video illustrating how they use their velco-like sticky legs to capture prey — in much the same way that the Clinging jellies do.
