Chiropsalmus sp.

Description and Comments

This was from a video posted recently on YouTube,(http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LG643o7ylzg).

This sighting is very important because 1) I have never seen reports of any Chiropsalmus past July. 2) this specimen is extraordinarily healthy, with very long tentacles.

Found at Charleston Maritime Center.

I am headed there to see for myself, and try to collect some. :)
