Original Tripedalia 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.

  • Underwater macro photography? Sign me up! But I think, for display in articles, this should be a JPG. —  Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support. A JPG file would certainly by smaller. PNGs are only really suitable for diagrams and similar and even then, vector SVGs are usually preferable. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:48, 16 October 2014 (UTC) reply
