Semaeostome Jellyfish [Semaeostomeae]

Description

Semaeostome jellyfish are the classic “jelly” shapes divers recognize—bell-driven swimmers that can look dramatic as they pulse and drift. Depending on the species and season, you may see them in open water or near rocky coasts, where their tentacles and flowing motion stand out against the seafloor.
