Physalia physalis

Description and Comments

Thanks to friendly MBL staff we could get our hands on three beautiful specimens. Obviously they saw a couple along Vineyard Sound-facing beaches and could collect a couple in the harbor. The specimens they gave to us were quite large. The one in the picture has a float of approximately 20cm in length and was the smallest of the three.
