Hey Jellyfishie, Part XI

For the first time, scientists have observed a coral eating a jellyfish.  The mushroom coral was found, well, eating a moon jellyfish that was about its size- up to 30 cm (1 foot) across.

The mushroom coral was already known to be an outlier among coral species.  It lives by itself, and it's one of the largest coral species.  But actually eating jellyfish is another matter.
