Mushroom Jelly
Description and Comments
I found a single beat up Rhopilema verili on folly Beach. Good bit of the bell and all the oral arms were gone. I kept it to hopefully start a culture with. I forgot to snap a picture of the jelly itself so I will include a picture of wha I believe are resulting polyps.
Water was very cloudy that day. Lots of organisms were present. Two species of gorgonians. Sea whips and one I don't recognize. Sponges and some varieties of coral. Very little jellyfish. Just the single Rhopilema and a small Cyanea.
