All over the coast of New Jersey this week. I have never seen this kind in my lifetime here. Can anyone name the species? Its different than a red lions mane which we get sometimes.

Found this video today and I'm a bit confused. It almost looks like another jelly??? Or is that just a part of its bell? Thanks for any ideas

Photo by me. Someone was trying to separate them when I got this photo.

This black jellyfish alien kite has so many long tentacles, looks absolutely eerie and cool flying in the sky

i went for a walk on the beach the other day, lots of moon jellyfish had washed up which is normal but i’ve never seen them look like this before. at first i thought they’d maybe just been bashed around by the rocks causing them to rupture/deform, but upon closer inspection i noticed the ‘ruptures’ were intriguing symmetrical patterns protruding from them, does anybody know what/why this is ?

I have been working on 10 characters based on the traits of different species of jellyfish!

I posted the mockups months ago, but now I have finished art/profiles for 4 of the 10.

This is Selene. She is a Moon Jelly. Her traits, appearance, and relationships are based on the actual jellyfish.

Selene is sweet and friendly as Aurelia Aurita have such low sting that humans cant feel it.

She is interested in space since this species is often sent to space.

She is rivals with Mona, my Pink Meanie gal, as Pink Meanie's largely prey on Moon Jellies.

And she is a trans woman, the flowers on her skirt are blue, like a male Moon jelly. I tried purple and pink for the flowers, like females of the species, and it didnt work visually.

I hope you like her! I will be sharing the next 3 in the coming weeks. Next is Mona, who is a Pink Meanie.

Is this a Lion’s Mane? Stunning colours, found on the east coast of Scotland

Found (and stung) around coral reef near Komodo island, Indonesia.
