Barrel Jellyfish

Rhizostoma pulmo

Notes:

These photos were taken by my brother. He gave them to me on purpose to post here on Project Noah. Since he was on top of a bridge taking the pictures, he's unsure about the size of this jellyfish, yet he mentioned it to be almost as big as his forearm.

For the time being I would suggest listing the "common name" as simply, jellyfish. It is still regarded as unidentified when the scientific name is blank. And if anyone has a species suggestion they can still make it. :-)

Yes, I believe it is a jellyfish :) But I have no idea of the specie.
