I found them in an absolute SEA of blue a couple of years ago during a baby jelly fish invasion, lol.

I'm sorry to say most died but a bunch of us beach lovers got a bunch back out far enough to survive!

peace

Those look kool, like little rubber jellyfish.

Where did you catch those at?
In a tide pool, or did they wash up on shore?

They washed up on shore in Sicily.
The beach was BLUE with them - it was unreal.
Like I said we saved as many as we could.
Beautiful sight all that blue too until we realized what it was!
Little cutie pies!

I just read about the jelly invation of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mauve Stinger jellyfish is native to these waters. AN found in other warm waters.

Thanx for sharing this with us.



Look under a black light to give a glow to them, never mind they have a bioluminescence.
Truely beautiful !!!

Ah, yes.. one of the true deep sea monsters. The Lions mane jellyfish !
Not a very atractive guy but none the less a magnificent beast

Can reach a span of 90 feet or more. Native to the Austalian sea but can be found in the asian/indonesia waters.
