Description
Same Jellyfish, bigger view;Jellyfish from the beach in PEI;
this is not the usual picture of jellyfish I am used to see;
this one was resting (?) in 2 inches of water in PEI.
Is it alive ? is it dead ? Can it survive in 2 inches of water ? Shouls we have pushed it back to the sea ? Why is lying like this on the beach ? I have so many questions, and no answers.
I've just been fascinated by the presence of this jellyfish like this on the beach, but still in the water. Life is something very surprising.
I had never seen this before and thought it was interesting:
and makes a different view or this part of wildlife...
Jellyfish ....

It's a small purtugese man-of-war made up of moon jellyfish. Its not one jellyfish but rather a group of them collected into one mass. Any jellyfish would not have those bumps on top unless it was a colony of jellyfish.

I've never seen this type of jellyfish either. It has the four bumps I'm used to seeing but absolutely no color! I looked it up online:[link] and it says: "By the time it has been tossed in the rough surf, the Moon Jellyfish looks like a clear plastic disk or saucer lying in the sand. When alive in the ocean it has numerous, short fingerlike tentacles around the edge and an outline of a four-leaf clover in the center. Its transparent umbrella can grow up to 10 inches across. By the time the Moon jellyfish is washed up on the beaches, the tentacles are gone and these jellyfish are harmless."

these types of jellies are cool, I saw them a few years back in the bahamas and they dont have stingers! a biologist was in the water examining them since it was mating season and we were holding these guys. they feel like a hand full of thick hairgel XD

Teehee JELLYFISH! <333 I would think that as long as some part of it is not in the water, it's dead or dying. I might be totally wrong though XD

OHH In Virginia they had a lot in the ocean.
I was stung a bunch of times, once by a blue one, once by a yellow one, and once by a gigantic pink one.
They are soooooo cool looking floating there in the water

Trying to figure if this is one of our Lion's Mane or the Moon Jelly. I watched one of those nasty LM fight the ocean. It wriggled it's way out, then the ocean shoved it back towards shore. I estimated another 100 yards and the thing would have gotten washed up too. We live in Nova Scotia btw

my sister lives in Ottawa, and my borther-in-law is from Toronto, but his famili is originally from NS. My sister travelled there to visit his family, and really enjoyed her trip. Nova Scotia and New Foundland are the only provinces I've never seen....
Eventually, I guess I will
Regarding the Jellyfish, .... I know very little about them !

Nova Scotia and area has two jellyfish types: moon jellies and Lion's Mane. Lion's Mane is nasty and you must never contact them ever. They will give you a dreadful sting, and the thing with jellyfish stings is each time you get one it gets WORSE. If you develop an allergic reaction to them you can die! The Moon Jellies are harmless. Children here throw them at each other for fun. They don't have stinging tentacles like their larger cousins. Moon Jellies are small about the size of a child's palm, and basically all white/clear. Lion's Manes are pinkish purple and quite large, the size of a man's hand.
