Rhizostome Jellyfish [Rhizostomeae]

Description

Rhizostome jellyfish often look like floating, umbrella-like bells with many trailing oral arms that can resemble a soft, lacy fringe. Divers may spot them drifting through the water column, sometimes in loose groups, glowing subtly as they move with the currents.
