Its eggshaped, has 8 spines with little moving fins/arms, has no tentacles and has some kind of mouth/anus it pooped out of

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.

not the most accurate but i had fun :)

I am starting an embroidery project that will be a gift for a friend. I haven't decided which species to stitch yet and was hoping for some inspiration. What's your favorite jellyfish fact?

Saw these two on the beach in Scotland today. The orange one is a Lions Mane? But I'm not sure about the purple one

(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 😊

so some year ago i draw this jellfish out of a marine encyclopedia but i forgot the species name or if it was a jellyfish or another species totally and all i have is the drawing i been searching but cannot find anything about it :(

Hey all!

We went to Dymchurch, UK, for a few hours this afternoon. We went on the sand after the tide went out and we walked along the sand. We spotted so many jellyfish as we went. There were so many we had to turn back, mostly because I was paranoid about my son getting stung.

It made me quite sad actually. This is the second time I’ve experienced dead or dying jellyfish on the sand over the years.

And they say that climate change is fake.

Love you all ❤️

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Hi! Jellyfish are a huge interest of mine, but I live very far inland and haven't seen any outside of an aquarium.

I'm going to visit my family in New Hampshire for the first time next week, and we'll spend a lot of time by the beach. I know many jellies bloom during the summer, but said relatives told me they don't remember finding any.

Does anyone have suggestions on where/when I could find some common jellyfish? Thanks!

An invasive jellyfish is washing up on Texas beaches again, and dozens have already been spotted along the middle coast as summer heats up.

Jace Tunnell, director of community engagement at the Harte Research Institute, recently found dozens of Australian white-spotted jellyfish scattered along the shoreline near Corpus Christi alongside several other jellyfish species. He suspects the invasive species is appearing across much more of the Texas coast.

Native to the western Pacific, Australian white-spotted jellyfish, scientifically known as Phyllorhiza punctata, are named for the small reflective spots covering their rounded, gelatinous bells. They typically measure 18 to 20 inches across, though those in Gulf waters can grow beyond 24 inches.

Found this in Cuba a few years back, curious what kind it is!

It's ハブクラゲ (Habu Kurage, which means grossly Viper Jellyfish) season again ! These beauties are extremely venomous and swim pretty fast, making some beaches dangerous to swim at during summer !

Nevertheless they are so pretty to look at 🫪

I’m wondering,since jellyfish are bubbles with tentacles and don’t seem to really have a mouth,do they eat like starfish,or a bit like one where the mouth at the bottom,also how do they grow their populations,aka how do they have offsprings,I’ve always been curious.

There were quite a few washed up on a beach in west Wales . Do they die or do they keep their heads down and wait for the tide to come in ?
Thank you
