Description
Often mistaken for a jellyfish, the blue button is an odd-looking ocean creature that can cause mild skin irritation if touched, just like the jelly. This creature is actually a colony of small animals called hydroids. The blue button doesn't move voluntarily, but it floats freely in the water, carried by currents.
