Atlantic Sea Nettle

Description and Comments

A handful of Atlantic Nettles were hanging around Sunset Beach as well. Ones found at the tide line were mostly bits and pieces. Two healthy specimens were found swimming around in the intracoastal waterway, in calm areas. It's interesting that Moon Jellies were found today as well. We see Moon Jellies in fall and Sea Nettles in the summer. So now is that golden period where the two overlap.
