Csiromedusa medeopolis [Csiromedusa medeopolis]
Description
This medusa may appear as a translucent, drifting jelly that catches the light as it moves. Divers can sometimes observe it slowly pulsing or gliding with the current, creating a gentle, floating presence in the water. Because jellies can be seasonal and patchy, sightings are often brief but memorable.
