Jellyfish [Sanderia malayensis]
Description
Divers may spot this delicate jellyfish drifting through the water column like a slow, translucent balloon. Depending on the light and current, it can appear as a soft, shimmering presence—often more noticeable by movement than by sharp detail. Keep an eye out for it gliding past as you hover or swim steadily.
