Pallid Frond Jelly
Frondiscus pallens
Field record
It presses its bell flat against the underside of a frond and lets the edges furl in against the blade, and in that shape it reads as a pale scar on the kelp rather than an animal. Only after the light drops does it lift free and round out into something with a shape of its own. I have started checking every unusually bleached patch on the fronds before moving on.
Habitat
Catching it
A Twilight-tier catch needs at least a Fine Mesh Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 90 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
