What species is it ?

11 March 2022 0 5K Report

Hello,

I am studying a zooplancton sample collected in the North of Corsica Island (Western Mediterranea) and I observed this organism that I am not able to identify. I guess it is a Cnidaria but I don't have a clue about the specie it could belong to. Is it a Siphonophorae ? An early stage of a Medusa ?

If you have any idea or suggestion, please let me know.

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. Please, excuse the poor quality of the photographies, I tried my best but was not able to get a better result.
