RARE PHOTOS OF FISH INSIDE A JELLYFISH Captured by Australian Photographer (2 Instagram Photos + Video)

Viral Randomness...

Talk about perfect timing and being in the right place at the right time - with a camera. Check out these photos taken by Australian photographer, Tim Samuel of a fish inside a jellyfish and the expression on the fish's face. Incredibly, someone has captured this happening before as seen in the Instagram video further below. Nature, you are amazing.

A fish has been pictured swimming inside a jellyfish off Australia's east coast in a rare image that has gone viral, with more than two million online views.

Underwater photographer Tim Samuel took the photograph near in December and had put it up on Instagram. . The expression on the golden fish's face — visible through the transparent jellyfish — appears to be one of fear. Samuel said he had considered whether to "set the little guy free", but ultimately decided it was best to "just let nature run its course".AFP

I'm loving hearing where you are all from and where you saw this posted, keep it up, it's putting a big smile on my face It is crazy how much attention this little guy is getting. When @franny.plumridge and I stumbled upon it we knew we had found something special, but had no idea just how unique and rare this sighting was. I'm completely blown away by all the attention it is getting from all over the world.

T R A P P E D - Woke up this morning to my phone going crazy due to one my photos being reposted by @discoverocean. Here's another photo from that day. I found this fish trapped inside a Jellyfish while freediving in Byron Bay. He was trapped in there but controlled where the Jellyfish was moving. Prints are available through my website - link in bio

@franny.plumridge and I were starting to think we were the only ones to witness anything like my Fish Trapped in a Jellyfish photo. That was until this afternoon when I received a very exciting email "I too have witnessed this rare phenomenon. I captured it on video while snorkeling at Double Reef beach in Guam in 2013. Over the course of several minutes I watched the fish exit the Jellyfish, swim back inside the Jellyfish, and apparently steer the Jellyfish at will, and repeat. I researched the unusual behavior when I first encountered it, however could not find anything on the internet to explain the behavior. Perhaps others will communicate their experiences and a collaborative understanding of this behavior will immerge" - words and video from Brent Collins
