2015 Marine Life- Jellyfish Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.First day of issued: Jan 08, 2015. Jellyfish are cnidarians, a group of gelatinous invertebrates and have neither hearts nor skeletons. They are transparent and contain 95% water. To the lovers who are fond of marine life, the lightsome jellyfish are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful creatures in the water. With their umbrellalike shapes, transparent body colors and elegant tentacles, jellyfish slowly move in the sea through their bells expanding and contracting. By rhythmic movements, jellyfish sway like beautiful dancers. While emitting bioluminescent light, they are even more graceful and much more eye-catching comparing with other marine life. 2. Physophora hydrostatica (NT$7): It can grow up to 8-12 cm in length and feeds on zooplankton. A colony contains a number of specialized individuals with different functions. It behaves and moves like a single organism. They are widely found in temperate and tropical surface waters of the world ocean. They often occur in spring and summer, and are common in the Taiwan Strait and in the waters south and east to Taiwan. 3. Mastigias papua (NT$10): It is about 10 cm in diameter of the bell and feeds on zooplankton. Its umbrella has numerous white spots and can vary in color depending on the environmental conditions and the types of symbiotic algae. It is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical coastal waters, as well as bays and lagoons. It can be found in the coastal waters of southern and northern Taiwan, including Yeliu. 4.
