Pelagic Jellyfish Encounter
Description and Comments
Doing a kayak tour another guide spotted this so we swam over to observe and photograph. We were about 1/4 mile out in 40 feet of clear water with the current running South. The bulb was about the size of a small melon. It appeared healthy and no fish were residing inside the bell. I have numerous photos of it if you would like more.

Awesome Thysanostoma. That is
Awesome Thysanostoma. That is one of our favorites here, and one of our colleagues is studying the timing of their appearances.
