Scientists in California have discovered a new species of deep-sea jelly that looks a little different from others that float through the ocean's depths.
Called "Atolla reynoldsi," the scarlet crown jelly was found as it swam more than 1,400 metres below the ocean's surface.
Scientists prefer the name "jelly" instead of "jellyfish" because the creatures are not fish.
"When we started seeing this, it caught our attention," says George Matsumoto. "It has these really interesting spikes on it. It looks sort of like the spokes on a bicycle wheel."
Atolla can have between 26 and 39 tentacles. Its tentacles are also coiled like springs.
The creatures live in the "midnight zone", a part of the sea so deep that it can't be reached by sunlight.
