Jellyfish ID

[Cool Beans]

Looks like Sea Nettle Jellyfish to me. they are not as bad as man o war but still something to stay clear of, the tentacles can get 3 or 4 feet long.

they only hurt after many stings. spearfishing w/ a full suit only where my mask/flippers exposed my skin- burned for a little bit, and that was swimming thru a whole lot of them.

Yeah, it depends a lot on the person too, most of them may cause me an itch, but my son gets bright blisters from them. Until you toss a few at the dog to see how he reacts, I'd keep him away from them.....

Thanks Cool Beans. I would like to take some to work and throw them at some "clients."

Why the bleep would you swim thru them?
