Lobed comb jellies (deepwater ctenophores) [Trachylinae]
Description
Trachylinae are typically deepwater comb jellies, so sightings are more likely during night dives or in clear water with good visibility. Divers may see slow-moving, gelatinous forms with distinctive lobes, often appearing like soft, drifting lanterns in the beam of a light.
