Lychnorhiza malayensis [Lychnorhiza malayensis]
Description
In the right conditions, divers can encounter this jellyfish as a calm, floating presence—its bell held high while tentacles trail downward. It’s a great example of how jellyfish can look both delicate and surprisingly structured as they move with gentle pulses.
