Destin Florida, East of East Jelly toward Davis Park

Description and Comments

This morning while paddleboarding, I saw numerous jellyfish within 25 meters of the shoreline. The jellyfish were large and small...some large swarms were noted. These appeared to be Moon Jellies, but there appeared to be a another type with much longer tentacles swimming underwater.

Thanks! The "other type" could be a few things. What color was it?

If the species had red

If the species had red radiating stripes, sea nettle, clear with hand-like appendages and a slightly boxy bell, box jellyfish and it could also possibly just be a misc. jellyfish that is harmless.
