Moon Jellyfish – Aurelia aurita – Santa Rosa Beach, Florida from David McRee on Vimeo.
I took some video of this beautiful Moon Jellyfish washing up on Santa Rosa Beach. The water was crystal clear and there were quite a few jellyfish washing up.
Someone had been picking up the jellyfish and placing them in an arrangement on the beach in one spot. Strange. These jellyfish are generally harmless, although you wouldn’t want to touch one and then rub your eyes. They do have stinging nematocysts, but according to what I hear, only the most sensitive people are bothered by them at all.
