Manania gwilliami
Manania gwilliami is a species of stalked jellyfish found in intertidal and subtidal zones on the west coast of North America.[2] The stalk (peduncle) is described as being as long or longer than the calyx; the calyx typically has mottled pigmentation throughout.[1][2] The name "gwilliami" refers to G.F. Gwilliam who described a number of stauromedusae in the mid-20th century.[1]
