Phyllodesmium hyalinum Ehrenberg, 1831
25mm

The identification is uncertain. It seems as though I change my mind about this and some other Phyllodesmium species every time I look at them. At this point, it seems to me that P. hyalinum is closest, although it is possible the two specimens figured below are not even the same species. These two were observed in 2015, one at Eagle Point and another at a site called Secret Garden.
