Strange Jellyfish

This jellyfish was unlike the others.   It had a layer of yellow/white bubbles.

It looks EVIL!
Mary MacADNski: I'm wondering if it's sick.

lol at Chris.
Lovely capture Mary but definitely wont want to be in those waters with this one tongue
Mary MacADNski: There were lots of little ones and the largest one we've ever seen and this one that wasn't very big but so unusual. Swimming was ensuring that you'd hit one.

It looks like a pretty ornamental plate someone accidentally dropped into the water, Mary!
Mary MacADNski: Perhaps a new design will spring from this photo.

Exotic crab-food!

Nice capture,Mary.
Mary MacADNski: With the amount of jelly fish that day we needed more hungry crabs.

wonderful shot. Looks frozen in ice.
Mary MacADNski: It does look like clear ice once that shutter stops all the movement.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a large tree taken from a plane. How wrong. Lovely shot
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie. Amazing the things people saw in this shot.

Odd looking varmint mary
Mary MacADNski: It really is. I'm thinking it may be sick.
Looks like a big plate Mary
Mary MacADNski: I never thought of that, Bill, but many think it does.
Amazing! It looks just like a fruit dish or similar!
Mary MacADNski: I guess it does.
It looks like a fungi
Mary MacADNski: It does look like a mushroom.
Most unusual creature Mary, one is always a bit wary of being stung by these things in case they are poisonous.
Mary MacADNski: We have no poisonous ones here. They give only a mild sting.

What an unusual looking jellyfish, I have never seen anything like it Mary, well captured.
Mary MacADNski: I think there may be something wrong with it.

How big is that thing
Mary MacADNski: About the size of a small dinner plate. I remember the 'blue bottle' jellyfish in Au. Those are quite dangerous I believe. These are not.
I was told they only have there sting in the hight of summer. I feel they are an over Exaggerated monster, like the common house spider. I have not been stung so I do not talk from Experience.
Mary MacADNski: I was stung that day but these are just a mild burn for a couple of hours. I think other countries have very dangerous varieties but these won't kill you, thankfully.
I dont know much about them Mary..so I steer clear of them. None of them look very nice.
Mary MacADNski: I've eaten jellyfish. A Chinese restaurant outside of Boston had it on the menu. I shared an order with a friend from Chicago. No one else in our party would eat it.

Loved yesterdays post Mary,and the Amy song again,also the dog looks like one of mine!Must agree with you the jellyfish looks a bit sick!!You would have to be starving to try and eat this one.
Mary MacADNski: i WOULDN'T GO ANY CLOSER TO THIS THAN i WAS FOR this shot.
Has it had a pint?
Mary MacADNski: That's the first suggestion I've had about what could be wrong. It's a good one too. LOL
I've never seen a jellyfish quite like this one. Great capture. Makes one wonder about the diversity of sea life. I'll bet you got a lot of great shots that day. RARE, indeed.
Mary MacADNski: I did get great beach shots that day, and yesterday and am going to the beach today. What a life, eh?
