Barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo)

Description and Comments

I was out in a kayak near Bastia, Corsica, when hundreds of barrel jellyfishsuddenly came into view below the surface. I may not have been that far from the shore, but the density of jellyfish was insane; at least 10 individuals per cubic meter.
