Portuguese Man O’ War (Physalia physalis) also known as the blue bubble, blue bottle, man-of-war, or the Portuguese man of war, is commonly but erroneously thought of as a jellyfish In fact, it is not a single animal, but rather a siphonophore – a colony of four kinds of minute, highly modified individuals, which are specialized polyps and medusoids[1].- Wikipedia
