Sorry if it's not fitting for this reddit but after a month my library finally got this in for me on interlibrary loan! I'm excited to give it a look through and add so much info to my interest journal!!! (World Atlas of Jellyfish, edited by Jarms and Morandini)
Found on pinterest but I want to find some pictures of it without an edit over it :-)
In photo is my boyfriend holding a dead one. Phi phi island in Thailand was full of them! Harmless but gross to swim around.
Got it done in Thailand to commemorate getting stung while scuba diving.
Most beaches around here have jellyfish or what I assume are baby jellyfish washing up on the shores, especially during the evening. You can encounter them during the day/morning as well, but not as often. I've only been "stung" by the small ones. They're practically invisible and leave no marks, but feels like a mosquito bite for a few minutes.
Please identify what type of jellyfish is this. For context, this is in Philippines, on the West Coast
What are the neon orange clumps that hang off of moon jellyfish? I see them often in aquarium jellyfish but not in pictures online. I've tried Googling it, but no consistent results are showing up.
So I found this jellyfish ages ago and have yet to identify it. As of this moment I can’t remember where I found it, it was on holiday years ago. I might also be able to find a video but anyone know what this is??
so, i know that logically london zoo has jellyfish however their website has very little information about what kinds they have and i'm driving myself insane trying to find out. if anyone knows anything about london zoo's jellyfish i'd very much appreciate it
Hi jellyfish community :) I’m currently in Astoria, Queens (NY) and I stumbled upon what looks like a jellyfish, but it’s super small and this is a freshwater lake! Any ideas on what it could be?
Just watched an amazing in-depth interview discussing the Jellyfish song, "New Mistake". They break down the song verse by verse, instrumentally and conceptually!
One of my favorite Jellyfish songs!

I recently just started my trip to the British Virgin Islands for spring break, and when we first starting diving/snorkling, we could see HUNDREDS of worm-like and rectangle-like creatures. While We identified these as being harmless salps, every time we got in the water, we could feel them stinging us, presumably meaning that there were jellyfish. Does anyone know what kind of jellyfish could cause this sting and might look similar to small salps??
Potentially goofy question that's really bugging me. I've been researching for multiple days and can't find any source that explicitly addresses this.
What happens to the primary polyp itself in hydrozoans? It can't keep just keep budding more zooids/medusae forever, right? Surely it expires naturally at some point, right? I guess that seems like a no-brainer, of course it must, but I want to be sure instead of assuming. The closest I've gotten to an answer is a paper about culturing Clytia hemisphaerica in the lab, which ad verbatim describes polyp colonies as "immortal". Okay, so I guess they're treating the colony as one organism that's perpetually budding new zooids (presumably replacing individual zooids that die), and that it can flourish indefinitely in carefully curated ideal conditions in the lab. But I have a hard time believing it'd be like that in the wild too.
I'm focusing on species in the genus Turritopsis, but I know documentation on them is limited so I'm asking about hydrozoans as a whole instead. I know this is kind of a problematic question to begin with because the life cycle is different among different species, but I've had such rotten luck finding info about this that I'd be grateful to know how it works in even one species.
Found washed up on Fort Myers Beach, Florida.
