to make their daytime migrations to the brighter light in the water.
The fact that a jellyfish has a delicate, light-sensitive system from
which its symbiotic relationship benefits is not something to be ig-
nored. Jellyfish never mistakenly absorb any other organism or a
different species of algae into their bodies, only those species that
will be of use. Jellyfishes have no eyes or brain, and consist largely

of water. They need to establish whether there is a chloroplast in the
living cell they touch. The way that they carry it straight towards
the Sun instead of feeding on other organisms around them, shows
that they know what will nourish the algae cells they have ab-
sorbed into themselves. Jellyfishes have known the properties of al-

gae for millions of years. The way they use them for their own ben-
efit reveals the existence of Allah's extraordinarily superior creative
artistry.

Algae Provide Protection for Slugs
Sea slugs with no shells live on corals and other hard marine
surfaces. Since they have no shells they appear to be defenseless,

but are protected from their enemies in a special way. Slugs are
camouflaged by assuming the color of the coral they live on. The
sole reason for their being the same color is algae.
These creatures that feed with corals separate the algae in the
coral tissue as they digest it and keep the algae alive. The slug pos- HARUN YAHYA
sesses a special mechanism to enable it to do this. It moves the al-

gae cells it ingests from its stomach toward the tentacles on its out-
er surface and enables the algae to remain alive there. In this way,

the defenseless sea slug is provided with perfect camouflage. The (ADNAN OKTAR)
sea slug has now changed color thanks to the algae it has absorbed
