Pleurobrachia rhodopis [Pleurobrachia rhodopis]
Description
Often appearing with a faint pinkish or rosy tint, this comb jelly can stand out when light catches it. Divers typically see it suspended in the water, where its comb rows and gentle movement make it look like it’s “floating” rather than actively swimming.
