OriginalTripedalia cystophora is a species of box jellyfish in the family Tripedaliidae. It is native to the Caribbean Sea and the Central Indo-Pacific.
Reason
I'm pretty excited about this one- a high-resolution image of a tiny jellyfish from an open access journal article. We have a lot of fantastic images from open access journals (see Commons:Commons:Open Access File of the Day for more), but, sadly, they're mostly too low in resolution terms for FP nominations. Just so we're clear, there has been a little bit of cropping and cloning in this case to "undo" the modifications made by the article authors. See the image page for details.
