And you think you're having a bad day...

Photographer Tim Samuel was snorkelling with local videographer Franny Plumridge when he captured the perfect moment of a fish stuck inside a jellyfish off Byron Bay.

T R A P P E D - Woke up this morning to my phone going crazy due to one my photos being reposted by @discoverocean. Here's another photo from that day. I found this fish trapped inside a Jellyfish while freediving in Byron Bay. He was trapped in there but controlled where the Jellyfish was moving. Prints are available through my website - link in bio

"I have never seen anything like it," he toldAustralian Geographic.

"It seemed completely trapped in there, like it had somehow managed to swim inside and then was unable to back itself out.

"The fish was able to propel the jellyfish forward and controlled its movement to an extent, the jellyfish threw it off balance though and they would wobble around, and sometimes get stuck doing circles.

"I contemplating freeing the fish as I felt bad for it, but in the end decided to just let nature run its course, which was a difficult decision for me to make."
