Box jellyfish Chirodectes maculatus (1 Viewer)

Sorry if you can't see this footage if you're not on Twitter but I can't see if videos in Twitter can be embedded into posts like images can.

It's a 20 second long video of Chirodectes maculatus, saying it was last seen in 1997 and this is the first time it's been filmed. I'm assuming whoever took the video has a longer version as this looks like an edit.

What are the diagnostic criteria for this species-level identification?

Might be better asking the person who posted the video on Twitter as I don't know the answer to that.

Okay, I thought you might.

I wouldn't have a clue.
