Lions's Mane Jellyfish  Cyanea capillata


From today's dive, saw one of these on each dive, once I opened the image I saw the many small fish hanging around under the Jellyfish.  Apparently this is common the small fish shelter there from predators but occasionally get eaten by the jelly.  A bit of cloning to remove floaties.

Nice. They can get huge!
I think if you up the SS you may darken the BG water some which would pop the reds.

Click on the image is a must. This is so cool. I looked at this for quite awhile seeing all kinds of things around the jellyfish. Love the coloring.
