Phacellophora - (aka Fried Egg Jellyfish)

Description and Comments

Phacellophora jellyfish were all over the place off the coast of Provincetown, MA. In my 40+ years of visiting the Cape and specifically this part of the bay I don't recall ever seeing this species here before. Approx 6-8" in diameter. Fairly long tentacles...6-10". Yellow/Orange/Red-Brown colors.
