Rhizostoma pulmo
Variable size from about 10 cm to as much as 40 cm in lnght and as much in diameter, generally white with purple areas which vary from individual to individual.
Usually open sea, but when there is the southeast wind hundreds of individuals are pushed onto shore as the individuals I spotted.
The photos were shot from the surface
