Cyanea capillata (Lion's Mane Jellyfish)

Description and Comments

I usually see many Phacellophora camtschatica (Fried Egg Jellfish) and Aurelia Jellyfish (Moon Jellyfish) in the local Marina but this is only the second time I seen the Lion's Mane in the harbor. It was maybe a foot and half across with a fried egg jellyfish in its tentacles. Deep reddish purple flowered top, beautiful.
