Invisible Oceans Founder's Collection: Invisible Oceans #48: Ocyropsis I

This is a comb jelly or ctenophore, but not a predatory or cannibalistic species. It is Ocyropsis, the flapping comb jelly, which always reminded us of some futuristic spacecraft out of Star Wars. This depiction is from directly under the animal and is looking up between the two main flaps with which this species propels itself away from predators like Beroe.
