Aurelia vitiana [Aurelia vitiana]
Description
This moon jelly is typically seen as a translucent bell with a delicate, floating presence. Divers may encounter it drifting calmly above rocky bottoms or along kelp edges, where currents carry it through the scene. Up close, its internal features and subtle pulsing movement can make it a fascinating, low-key subject for underwater observation.
