Between Sea grapes & Mauve stingers

Els sàlpids (Salpidae), coneguts vulgarment com a salpes, són una família de tunicats de la classe Thaliacea, l'única de l'ordre Salpida. Són pelàgics i floten tant en solitari com encadenats en llargues colònies.

La medusa luminescent (Pelagia noctiluca) és una medusa de la classe dels escifozous, de distribució atlàntica i mediterrània, que ocupa preferentment hàbitats pelàgics, però que pot formar eixams que arriben a la línia de costa i impedeixen el bany a causa de la naturalesa extremadament urticant dels seus cnidocits.
És la medusa més freqüent del litoral català.

A salp (pl.: salps, also known colloquially as “sea grape”) or salpa (pl.: salpae or salpas) is a barrel-shaped, planktonic tunicate in the family Salpidae. It moves by contracting, thereby pumping water through its gelatinous body; it is one of the most efficient examples of jet propulsion in the animal kingdom. The salp strains the pumped water through its internal feeding filters, feeding on phytoplankton.

Pelagia noctiluca is a jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae and the only currently recognized species in the genus Pelagia. It is typically known in English as the mauve stinger, but other common names are purple-striped jelly, purple stinger, purple people eater, purple jellyfish, luminous jellyfish and night-light jellyfish. Pelagia noctiluca can be described as a marine organism with the ability to glow in the dark (bioluminescence). It is found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas,although it is suspected that records outside the North Atlantic region, which includes the Mediterranean and Gulf of Mexico, represent closely related but currently unrecognized species.
A fairly small and variably coloured species, both its tentacles and (unusual among jellyfish) bell are covered in stinging cells.Stinging incidents are common, painful and the symptoms may continue for a considerable time after the encounter, but they are generally not dangerous.
