Solmissus bleekii [Solmissus bleekii]
Description
Divers may recognize Solmissus bleekii by its understated, translucent form and trailing tentacles that move with the flow. It typically presents as a gentle, drifting presence rather than an active swimmer, so sightings are often about watching it slowly pass through your dive area. Look for it in midwater or near gentle currents where it can be carried along.
