A Comb Jelly?
 
Looks like a salp.
 
Yes, I believe that salp is correct. I didn't realize they could be so large. Thank you!
 
Salp, possibly Thetys vagina
 
The couple of descriptions I have found for Salps say they grow to about 4 inches. OP said it was about 12 inches. Even though that is an approximation and not a measurement, at 3X it sounds like the size suggests it might be something else. Or is there another opinion on the typical size of a Salp?
