Chrysaora chinensis [Chrysaora chinensis]
Description
Chrysaora chinensis is a large, attention-grabbing jelly that can dominate the water column during certain seasons. Divers often spot it by its broad bell and long tentacles streaming behind as it moves, with a steady, rhythmic pulsing that makes it look almost “floating” through the water.
