  • Jellyfish Lake in Palau is one of five saltwater lakes in the Rock Islands of Palau that are inhabited by jellyfish that have lost most of their stinging capability. It is the only one of the five lakes that is open for tourists to visit. The jellyfish depend on algae that live within their bodies for nutrition. The symbiotic algae use photosynthesis to produce nutrients. Jellyfish Lake is connected to the ocean through fissures and tunnels in the limestone.

  • Swarm of golden jellyfish (Mastigias cf. papua etpisoni) in Palau's Jellyfish Lake. These jellyfish have been isolated in a saltwater lake for thousands of years. They have lost most of their ability to sting, and depend upon symbiotic algae for food. Jellyfish Lake is one of five saltwater lakes in Palau with jellyfish populations similar to these.
