Sea nettle washed up at Fox Island

Description and Comments

I found this sea nettle on the shore at Fox Island and I am not sure what species it is - maybe a northern variant of Chrysaora fuscescens? Others have been reporting them all over Alaska. fuscescens usually occur in California in very large blooms so I am not sure if they would do the same in AK or if it's a different species.
