Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Yes, @Ava, this one is nearly transparent and you can see the internal organs clearly. For details of what those organs, you can check out this link : http://www.oceanography.ucy.ac.cy/medusa/home.html
