This is a ctenophore spotted in Western Lake, floating along near a dock. I am not sure what the scientific name of this species is. This individual was the only one around and I've never seen them in this lake before.
Gulf of Mexico estuary Brackish water Western Lake, Grayton Beach, Florida, 32459
Can anyone ID?

Great spotting!! very nice, thank you for sharing.
I agree with the Ctenophore suggestion.
Very interesting!
Cari- sort of like a jellyfish. Jellies belong to the group Cnidarians, this spotting I believe is a Ctenophore- a different type of invertebrate :)
Is that a kind of jelly fish?
