r/jellyfish

A video I took today.

IIRC, the second of these three images is unedited, but I edited pictures one and three to boost the colour, contrast, etc. a bit. Anyway, I recently photographed this nice lion's mane jelly in shallow water a few days ago.

This is a wet specimen from one of my favourite sellers. I see this jellyfish very often online of people shaving off the top and I’m wondering what kind it is? I’m genuinely having a hard time finding out…

I found an impressive number of tiny common Jellyfish in a small rock-pool along with these guys. Can anyone help me identify them?
Thank you!!!
Found in N.Ireland! 🪼

These are Rhopilema asamushi, sometimes known as ice jellyfish or sand jellyfish. They’re closely related to the more commonly known flame jelly (Rhopilema esculentum). In fact, at one point in time they were considered to be the same species. A deeper look into their morphology and genetics revealed that they were indeed separate species.

The ice jellyfish starts out clear and turns a sandy beige color as they age. Some species seem to turn an icy blue color when they reach a certain size or age.

Hi! Im designing a series of 10 jellyfish girls each based on a different jelly. This gal is based on the Moon Jelly.

Thoughts on her design? Does she read as a moon Jelly? Name ideas? Which Jelly should I draw next? Im planning on: Pacific Sea Nettle, Lions Mane, Atolla, Flower Hat, Purple Stripe, Black Sea Nettle, Comb, Compass, and Pink Meanie.

It's absolutely amazing! It captivated me, and I am sure it will delight everyone. 😎

I got a really painful sting ONE MINUTE into snorkeling at La Tortuga Island last Sunday. I suddenly felt an intense zap and had to be given a life saver to get back to the boat. Felt like a million bee stings and the sting was incredibly painful for at least 30 minutes before dying down to a mild-moderate stinging for the rest of the day. I unfortunately did not see it, but based on what I've read, it could've be a Portuguese Man of War? Not at all sure though, I am by no means a jellyfish expert. I know you can't identify jellyfish by the stings, though, so it's no biggie if nobody can; just wanted to share this large nasty sting (and I am very much considering getting a tattoo of a jellyfish when my skin heals). It really wrapped around my entire lower left leg, wow. The three last photos are the sting the day of (not the best angle, apologies)
