The Penicillate Jellyfish (Polyorchis penicillatus) is the Jellyfish I dove with in this video. I found this tiny little jellyfish in about 75 foot of water, a quarter mile off the shores in La Jolla, California. It was so small that if it wasn't for my high intensity lights I would have miss this opportunity. This Jelly looked so amazing, and moves so gracefully as it's transparent body and numerous tentacles moved and ossolated with every pulse of it's body.
