Echizen jellyfish

I foudn thius interesting jellyfish first at a website that had photoshoped it being about 3 times its normal size. But someone on the web said it was real but a little smaller so i decisded 2 do some research. Some of these things get as big as a school bus.

If u no nething about or similer 2 this jellyfish plz replie i'de like 2 see ur take on this.

Well, I know that some jellyfish tentacles can grow pretty long, like as long as a bus, but the body? I don't think so. And as for that picture you posted, it looks to me like a simple depth perception picture. The jellyfish is closer to the camera than the diver, so it makes the jellyfish look BIGGER than the diver. That's my opinion, however.

This is prolly the same jellyfish/scubadiver, in a diffrent shot.

God knows if this is altered, but it has the scuba diver in front of the jelly:

The sandwich is definately edited.

Supposed to be a giant jellyfish washed up:

But these buggers aren't even the biggest. The bell of a Lion's Mane Jellyfish can get 8 ft in diameter.
