Eupilema scapulare [Eupilema scapulare]
Description
Eupilema scapulare is usually seen as a modest, translucent jellyfish that blends into the surrounding water. When conditions are clear, divers can sometimes make out its delicate bell and trailing structures as it drifts with the current, giving the impression of a slow, floating “ghost” in the water.
