Bizarre jelly video
Have fun identifying this animal in the opening footage.
It looks like a Salp to me! I have seen and videoed them a few times! They come in many different forms!

Ya, Venus Girdle or Comb Jelly, not sure if it qualifies as a salp? Good Job!

If you layered several up into a pile one on top of the other, would it be a Mons Veneris?
A Salp is
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Urochordata
Class: Thaliacea
Order: Salpida
Family: Salpidae
Whilst a Comb Jelly is:
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Ctenophora
Salps and Comb Jellys are about as closely related as people and spiders. So in answer to your question, no ... it does not qualify as a salp.
