Jellyfish (Cephea cephea)
Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia
by Yeang Ch'ng, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
“I came across this jellyfish drifting at about 60
feet in depth while I was on a dive
in the Raja
Ampat archipelago. I turned away from a coral encrusted wall that had been
the subject of my
attention and swam over to investigate. When I
reached the jellyfish,
it drifted up the water
column, bell pulsating, its mane of tentacles
spread around it
like a cloud. Eventually it made
its way up to the ocean surface, where the bright
noonday sunlight filtered through the gentle
waves."
