I'm no biologist, but I'd say that's a jellyfish.

More high-quality "journalism" outta CA ...
"This type of jellyfish is usually found in the south Atlantic Ocean, some 5,000 feet below."
Below whut?
Zero? Wholesale? Cost? Our noses? Beneath our dignity? Middle "C"? Suspicion? Reproach? Civilization?
"Sloppy, careless and stupid is no way to go through a journalism career ..." (to paraphrase Dean Wormer) ...

It's a weather balloon that has fallen into the sea.
Either that or Rush has gone swimming again.

What fish have you got that isn't jugged?
Rabbit.
What, rabbit fish?
Yes.
Is it dead?
Well, it was coughin' up blood last night.
All right. I'll have the dead, unjugged rabbit fish. ... Apalling.
Moan, moan, moan.
