Cyanea buitendijki [Cyanea buitendijki]
Description
Divers may encounter this jellyfish as a soft, translucent presence that moves slowly and deliberately with the current. Its tentacles often hang below the bell, creating a subtle “hanging” silhouette that can be easy to miss until you notice the gentle motion.
