Aeginopsis laurentii [Aeginopsis laurentii]
Description
Divers may spot this delicate, transparent hydromedusa drifting in the water column like a small, floating veil. Its trailing tentacles can look like fine threads as it gently pulses with the current, often appearing more noticeable in dim light or when the water is clear.
