At least that is what us waxheads call this sea jelly or more commonly known as jellyfish of around 4 inches of length. Pelagia noctiluca drifts with ocean currents and often gets washed close in shore during strong winds and currents in the summer time. Its sting is quite unpleasant, though not really harmful. Makes you itch like he11. :D First-hand experience. But nothing like Blue Bottles (Portugese man o' war - Physalia physalia)
Captured with my housed Minolta SRT100, 50mm lens and 2x diopter lens, no flash, just ambient light in the shallows. See all the fine suspended matter in the water. Fujichrome Sensia 100, almost FF. No further details recorded.
