Spotted 3-4 individuals while snorkelling in Saronida (Attica coastline - Saronic gulf. Size is just 1-2 cm in diameter. Since it's the first time I notice this particular species in the area, any suggestions are welcome!

I have already suggested the same on iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/71140565 but according to jellyfish taxonomist Dhuhal Linday:
" Solmissus has stomach pouches and the species albescens also has patches of stinging cells on the exumbrella. Superficially though they do look very similar "
He suggested Solmaris instead and that is why I am now looking for a second opinion to either confirm or contradict his case.
If indeed it is Solmaris, then it should be added to the DORIS database as there is no existing record of this genus!
