Aurelia columbia [Aurelia columbia]
Description
This moon jelly is often encountered as a clear-to-pale bell with a soft, rhythmic pulsing as it moves. Divers may notice it hovering near rocky bottoms or along kelp and current edges, where it catches the light and reveals delicate internal structures.
