Rhopilema nomadica

Description and Comments

I was swimming at Gordon Beach, about 50 feet from the shore, when I felt a scraping sensation against my back. When I turned around, I saw a round, white-ish form in the water. The area soon turned red and began to sting. After researching on the internet, I believe the most likely identity of the jellyfish that stung me was Rhopilema nomadica.
