  #Medusa #morethan4tentacles and a long-shelled #Pteropod

  The bottom part could be a ephyrae distorted by noise. It's big but possible. What makes you say medusa >4 tentacles?

  I think I see the tentacles going to the bottom right (it's better visible in the thumbnail). Can't you see them? (Or just an illusion?)

  I can see them, but I think they are the salinity/temperature/density effects. This does have the cross in the middle though, which I don't

  Oh clearly it looks like the other ones you posted. Those may very well be more developed stages after the ephyrae stage. Fabien?

  Oh wow! I love bioluminescent animals. Thanks for sharing the video. It's really great to see them in colours too! 😃
