The glitch mob vs deepstaria reticulum
Description
Deepstaria reticulum has a wide, fan-like bell that is often a deep purple color, under the bell there is a small cluster of tentacles, loaded with stinging, venomous barbs like any other jellyfish. At the largest, they get about 0.7 meters long. Unlike their counterparts, deepstaria enigmatica, their bell is spread wide, like a thin, translucent bed sheet. (Deepstaria enigmatica has a wide bell too, but resembles a lava lamp or a woman's dress of the 19th century.)
