1cm in length, a bunch of these were found swimming at the edge of a deep tidepool.
Need ID help..
Multiple individuals( amounting to about 10-14) seen swimming freely at the banks of a mangrove patch, on the shores of river mandovi..had distinct multiple eyes.. most likely a tripedalia spp?
Seven individuals were swimming in tight circles near the surface, near an installed light source.
I’ll need assistance to determine the species. Size estimates: bell 2.0 - 2.5 cm, tentacles 10 - 15 cm.
Box jellyfish frighten me more than any other creature, and I hope to never encounter one on a dive. Watching Box jellies from the safety of a deck, however, I found them to be mesmerizing and beautiful.
Echinoderm larva from phytoplankton net tow sample from canal off Caloosahatchee River in Cape Coral, FL. Salinity = 9 ppt
Same species as previous Staurozoan? “Pom poms” look different but wondering if this is perhaps an immature individual.
Found on surf grass in channel at low tide
This stalked jellyfish has a translucent, maroon, broad funnel-shaped bell about 2.5 cm in diameter and 1.3 cm in height. It shows presence of short stock (0.3 cm) with a brad basal disc (0.5 cm) for attachment to substrate. Eight arms (marginal lobes) arranged in a circle and are well-developed, with 25-30 tentacles. Each of the tentacles has a rounded head and a short peduncle/stalk.
Along the waterline, still pulsating. Looks like Cubozoa, but we haven't seen a member from this class before and weren't aware they'd be in the N. Atlantic.
