Pleurobrachia cyanea [Pleurobrachia cyanea]
Description
Divers may spot this comb jelly as a translucent, bluish “jelly” that drifts slowly through the water column. When it’s active, its ciliary rows can look like delicate, shimmering bands, and it often appears to hover rather than swim like a typical fish.
