Cydippid comb jellies [Cydippida]

Description

Cydippid comb jellies are usually small, round-bodied, and often transparent, with a gentle, pulsing swim. Divers might notice them drifting in open water or near the surface, where their movement can look like a slow “wobble” as they use tiny cilia to propel themselves.
