Moon Jelly
The Moon Jellyfish, aka Aurelia
aurita is a white translucent colored coelenterate with a bell shaped body
and tentacles. These particular jellyfish live near the surface or at the
surface of the ocean, however, following a storm can be found washed ashore.
This specific jellyfish that we found seemed to have been washed to shore due
to a recent storm. It should be noted that the stinging tentacles can be painful
and cause irritation on the skin.
