Australian Spotted Jellyfish (phyllorhiza punctata) at Balmoral

Description and Comments

Spied an Australian Spotted Jellyfish (phyllorhiza punctata) about 80 metres offshore at Balmoral this morning. I found a few news articles relating to the invasion of Australian Spotted Jellyfish of US Coastal waters dating back to as early as 2000.
