Its translucent body and long trailing tentacles create a captivating silhouette against the backdrop of Portugal's temperate marine environment. This jellyfish diva knows how to make heads turn! With its otherworldly appearance and mysterious allure, it's no wonder why it has become a symbol for all things weird and wonderful in nature.
