Physical Description

The specimens found were small, approximately 10mm in diameter extending to 30mm including tentacles and there was no discernable height observed as it remained flattened along the oral-aboral axis.

Long simple tentacles tapered at the tip that appear to have small orange spots them but are otherwise transparent surround the oral disc.  A white circle surrounds the mouth on the oral disc, but the species is otherwise without distinguishing markings.
