Pseudaegina pentanema [Pseudaegina pentanema]
Description
Pseudaegina pentanema is a smaller jellyfish that divers may notice by its delicate, trailing tentacles and subtle bell shape. It tends to drift with the current, so the best sightings come from slow, steady observation rather than chasing movement. In good visibility, its faint translucence can still stand out when it catches light against darker backgrounds.
