Cassiopea culionensis [Cassiopea culionensis]
Description
This species is a classic “upside-down” jellyfish, typically seen anchored to sandy or muddy bottoms where it can look like a small, dome-shaped patch. Divers may notice its tentacles subtly fanning outward as it captures food, then relaxing again as it rests.
