Aurelia aurita
Jelly was completely transparent, but entire body and four circular rings at the bottom of body (the sex organs) were tinged pinkish-purple, denoting it as part of the Aurelia genus.
Jellies in the Aurelia genus can be found in most of the world's oceans.
Spotted this Moon Jelly at the Tamarindo reef on the island of Culebra. This particular Jelly was approximately 1 foot in diameter, and was by itself with no other Jellies nearby.
