A ctenophore (pronounced teen-o-fore), or comb jelly, is a transparent jelly-like animal often spherical or bell-shaped. When light strikes the eight rows of comb-like paddles used for movement, it is diffracted into colors like a rainbow. (Photo by Laurence Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
