This is a Portuguese man of war wet specimen nicely displayed in a specimen jar! This guy is beautiful! The container is approx. 2 x 7/8" and is a glass specimen jar and dipped in wax to seal . The dark spots are undigested food.
*While the man o’ war’s sting is rarely deadly to people, it packs a painful punch and causes welts on exposed skin--Do not attempt to handle this specimen*
THESE BOTTLES ARE ONLY HALF FULL AS THE MAN O WAR JELLY TOP IS ABOVE THE WATER. THESE ARE IN AN OCEAN SALT WATER SOLUTION. Also please be aware that they can stick to the side or top of the container in shipping-just a little shake of the container and when the water hits them it will bring them right back down in the water with no damage to them.
Species: Physalia physalis
The Portuguese man o' war, also known as the man-of-war, is a marine hydrozoan found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is considered to be the same species as the Pacific man o' war or blue bottle, which is found mainly in the Pacific Ocean.

We do our best to ensure all specimens, animals, insects and flora, used in our displays or offered by us are sustainably sourced.
If you purchase a second item with your order and send a note with the order that says "gift", we will include a gift with your order. All orders must have 2 or more items (not identical) to qualify. Our way of saying "Thank you" for looking!
All displays will be carefully packed to the best of our ability to insure a safe and damage free arrival. With Ground Advantage and Priority mail you will be covered by $100 worth of insurance. If damage occurs in shipping and your item was shipped with Ground Advantage or Priority mail, the post office now requires you to bring the package in to a postal center/office for inspection before any insurance payments will be approved and the item has to be in the original shipping box with all packing as you received still in box. Your refund will be processed once the package has been inspected and the receipt from the post office acknowledging the inspection is forwarded to us. This is an ordeal that no one wants to go through, including us, so we do our best to make sure no one has too!
Items that ship free and are returned for incorrect address or insufficient address will be charged a restocking fee or shipping fee to cover initial shipping costs and the balance refunded or given the option to purchase shipping for resending the item with corrected address.
If there was an original shipping fee and the item is returned for an incorrect or insufficient address and you would like the item resent, the option will be given to repurchase shipping. There are no refunds on initial shipping for an incorrect or insufficient address.
