Mauve Stinger Jellyfish

Pelagia noctiluca

Description:

Medium sized Jellyfish, mostly translucent with pinkish tone. It has a bell that is around 10 cm in diameter, 4 long oral arms and long tentacles of over a meter length.

Habitat:

Blue water, pelagic

Notes:

I got stung by this Jellyfish before I noticed it, during safety stop of my dive. One of the long tentacle brushed through my wrist and cause a stinging pain. Fortunately, I was not allergic to it and it wasn't a major sting.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated Albert!
