Hi Jorn, Congratulations on this photo! It is good, and interesting for me to study, as I work on siphonophores at the Natural History Museum in London. Where did you take the picture, and what depth were you at? The water is very green, but I presume this is due to a filter and not the natural colour of the water.
I have clicked on the image, but cannot blow it up to see more detail.
Did you see any small zooplankton nearby that it might have been feeding on?
Best wishes,
Gill

Hi Gill.
The photo was taken in the green water of Norway, and it is the naturel collor of the water. I took the picture at a depth of 1-2 m. There were several of them to be seen at this depth due to the upwelling form the deep sea.
I will send you a copy in high resolution if you are interested.
Best regards
Jorn Ari
