Could be, I am not 100% sure. I checked on the internet and it looked closest to those. I have heard them called both names, but have only been in RI for a couple years, so I am far from an expert...

they're called "lionsmane " jellyfish (Cyanea capillata). they sting, but only a little. i've found them as large as 3 feet across washed up at the race at ptown.
