Bloodybelly Comb Jelly

The bloodybelly comb jellys sparkling display is from light diffracting from tiny transparent, hair-like cilia. These beat continuously as a form of propulsion. In the deep sea, the jelly is nearly invisible; animals that are red appear black and blend into the dark background.

I know the Bloodybelly Comb Jelly are real,

but is this footage real? or is it computer generated?

I can't tell the difference.

These creatures over how many thousands of year have gained the ability to reproduce photo-synthesis in the dark. Not to long ago most scientists believed that without the suns rays life could not exist , watch this video again it kinda looks like a strange spaceship floating through space

I see that it opens up the leading end to capture food particles, but does it have somekind of waste pore or anus at the other end? Or does it just "cough up" any indigestible matter?

I wish I had a bunch of them in a medium sized fish tank at night, that would be the most awesome nightlight ever, I think it would keep me more entertained then the Tv,just a tank full of cool jellys that would make an awesome disco ball for raves.
