  • An image showing a colorful underwater object is frequently shared along with captions identifying it as a Spanish Dancer Jellyfish: However, this claim is problematic for two reasons. First, a Spanish Dancer is a type of sea slug and not a jellyfish. Second, the above-displayed picture is a digital image created with a computer program. The Spanish Dancer Jellyfish image seen here was created by underwater photographer and fractal artist Francis Le Guen, who manipulated an image of a Spanish Dancer sea slug in order to create this image. Le Guen talked about the process during an interview with Diver in 2012: While we have not been able to uncover the original Spanish Dancer image used to create Le Guen's artwork, the photograph at the head of this page shows what a picture of this sea slug (Hexabranchus sanguineus) looks like before it is run through a computer program.
