Haliclystus borealis [Haliclystus borealis]
Description
Haliclystus borealis is a stalked jelly that divers often find attached to the seafloor or anchored to hard substrate. Instead of freely drifting, it sits like a living fan, with long tentacles spread out to capture passing food. Divers may see it swaying gently with the water flow, creating a delicate, almost plant-like silhouette.
