Hi all,

Erika and I saw quite a few jellyfish yesterday at Anchor Bay, a couple of which we couldn't identify (though she may have identified it herself by now). It was spherical and about the same size and color as a comb jelly. It had either five or six (not 100% sure) visible lines running from top to bottom and two long tentacles trailing off the back (I would guess at least about a foot long, but again, not entirely sure). Anyone know what this was? BTW, we also saw a few moon jellies, a few lion's manes, and LOTS of comb jellies. Smile

Max
