Source of colours[edit]

The page states:

The colours are derived from pigment produced by the jellyfish itself (not symbiotic algae, as in some other jellyfish)

and this is referenced by a broken link.

The link appears to have been moved here, and it indeed makes the claim that has been included in the article.

However, the Australian Museum's page on the Jelly Blubber states the opposite of Georgia Aquarium.

Neither site provides a clear source for their claims.

The Georgia Aquarium article references a publication from Monterey Bay Aquarium, but the only relevant article I can find on the Monterey Bay website doesn't mention the cause of the colours.

Should we just mark it as Disputed ? Or does someone here have access to published scientific research on this matter?
