r/jellyfish

not the most accurate but i had fun :)

Made a post about them the first time they showed up in the bay by my house 3 years ago and found out they are Turritopsis nutricula, while not THE immortal jellyfish they’re in the same genus and have the same ability. This time around I have a much better camera so I was actually able to photograph them on their home turf rather than scooping a few into a cup, I know this time there’s not as good of a sense of scale because of that but just know they are tiny, the biggest ones I‘ve seen have a diameter of less than a centimeter.

(i was told to post this hear because i dint know where else to post)

Saw this cool jellyfish at an aquarium and I’ve been really fascinated by jellyfish since, still learning and wondered what this one is, if anyone can help with my curiosity 😊

The Compass Jellyfish is native to UK waters.

As we were walking along the coast in Cowes, my friend pointed out a jellyfish; she said it was a Compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella). The jellyfish was calmly moving in the water. This type of Jellyfish is native to UK water.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

In the outer banks of North Carolina, they are somewhat opaque and come in a large variety of sizes, the biggest shown in the images, they have small tentacles but do not sting at all.
