Cigar Jellyfish (Olindias phosphorica)

Madidir III, Lembeh.
I had no idea this could be a jelly until I posted in a Facebook group ID Please (Marine Creature Identification). Then someone told me it was this jelly and I was still skeptic until I did my search online and I saw these:

and a really cool video:

  Not mine, though-> the video I have found online when trying to verify that it was a jelly. This video definitely convinced me! It was just an unusual position -or so I thought- for me to find a jelly. But now I know some fold on the sandy bottom this way, I guess when they are trying to feed on the sediment.

  Yes, I never crossed my mind that it was a jellyfish> I would expect to see it more like in Albert's spotting for the species :-) Posted 6 years ago
