The smooth, elevated dome of this elegant creature is surrounded by a gutter-like ring. The marginal lappets are elongated and sub-rectangular. Each mouth-arm bifurcates near its base and branches several times. In addition to some larger appendages there are many short, club-shaped ones that bear disk-like ends.&nbsp;It seems that this jellyfish&#8217;s sting has very little or no effect on humans.
