Not sure what type this is. If someone just happens to know, as well as know the sex of these interesting creatures, please let me know!
Otherwise, this is some type of jellyfish from the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD. This is where a full frame camera will beat my camera bloody. I have a newfound respect for shooting captive creatures that move slowly...as long as they're behind super thick glass, in extremely dark rooms, with crowds of people who don't even notice or care about the shot you're trying to take.
Hopefully it came out well enough at least XD

Thanks! No flash used. I actually think it's not as sharp as I'd like, but in the case of this jellyfish, it was in a cylindrical tank so it was difficult to get as sharp of a shot as I would have liked since the glass was giving it's own softness and chromatic aberration.
Well it's all the more impressive then that you got it so well lit. Good lighting seems to be a running theme with you. ;) And I think the clarity is perfectly fine, at least at this web-friendly size. Maybe a touch noisy, but I'd imagine the ISO was pretty cranked up anyways. Any idea around what shutter speed you had on this one?
It was ISO 1600, F3.5, 1/60", 50mm. I certainly try for the best lighting I can. Photography, after all, is the art of capturing light. Forget what photographer said it, but he advised; "to be good at photography, you just have to follow/find good light". Paraphrased, of course, but that was the gist. I definitely strive for that.
