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.

Same species as previous Staurozoan? “Pom poms” look different but wondering if this is perhaps an immature individual.
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.
