I love seeing stuff like this. I'm glad I didnt come across it irl though, I'm having this crazy urge to poke it.....it just seems so...well jelly like hahahahaa
Nice picture though, it's a good clear shot.

Yep! Its tentacles can stretch for many feet and if they contact prey, millions of tiny stinging cells called nematocysts shoot out to paralyze it. Although the poison kills animals, it is not deadly to humans. But, it will be a very painful sting! (Sorry for the science teacher explanation. I'm a bit of an ocean geek.)

That's fine. I wanted to know and found that interesting. I guess nature's beauty isn't meant to be touched.

I know for a fact that Keith would have, but I'm such an animal lover, I would have gotten stung before I hurt them! Lmao... and then after getting stung, I would pick it up and hurdle it into the ocean, hahaha.

Ahh! Don't get stung!
We saw a bunch and we wanted to poke them, but didn't want them to pop!
