Description Chrysaora quinquecirrha is it's scientific name.

Did you know?
These guys are known more commonly as "Atlantic/East Coast Sea Nettle."
They are carnivores.
The sting isn't strong enough to kill you, unless you happen to be allergic.
Usually on the East Coast of the USA, they appear in May and stick around until September, though some stay into November.
