Overview
Jelly Ring (Thermodont sufganiyah — heat eating jelly donut). Settles around hydrothermal vents like a wheel on an axle. Flower-like mucus baskets pump water for circulation and propulsion. Inner structure circulates hot, mineral-rich water through specialized zooids producing a latex-like sap rich in sugars, starches, oils, and gums. Communicates via light rather than nerve cells — strongly bioluminescent and responsive to stimuli. Puzzling behavior: living jelly rings travel to deep seafloor sites and expel their jelly, giving up their calories for no apparent benefit — difficult to explain through standard natural selection. Assessment: potential source of complex chemistry and edible fats or sugars; likely flammable in air.
