For no reason in particular I have a chart full of Jellyfish ephyra and if I have to go by the chart, my best guess is that this is the Chrysaora pacifica (just by virtue of it being a Japanese/American documentary and also the markings lining up, imo. That could be just the lighting tho)

apparently the C. pacifica and the C. melanaster were commonly mixed up too in aquariums so it's possible that the documentary might've also gotten it wrong(?). I don't think I've watched this before so it's all pure conjecture

Unknown, Japanese/ American nature documentary, life in oceans, 1970s
