Rhizostoma luteum [Rhizostoma luteum]
Description
Rhizostoma luteum is a jellyfish divers may recognize by its rounded bell and delicate, trailing tentacles that hang below as it floats. In good visibility, its pale coloration and gentle drifting motion make it a beautiful, low-effort encounter—something you might notice more by movement than by shape at first.
