Dorian Borcherds News Today

Dorian Borcherds, a diver in Ireland, recently captured a video of a strange-looking jellyfish off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The diver saw three or four of the jellyfish, amazed by their precise design and the way they appeared to move firmly in the water. With hundreds of questions, he forwarded the video to his wife in South Africa, Dr. Lisa-ann Gershwin, a jellyfish expert at Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services, posted the video on the Jellyfish app to find a solution.

The rare jellyfish was thought of as ‘chirodectes maculatus’ but research and analyses found that it is a new, undiscovered species.
