It’s been a long time since I saw a Crowned Jellyfish so naturally, on a recent swim, I saw two of them. The one was up near the surface while the other pulsed along closer to the rocks and coral.

Your photos have captured their form so beautifully, from tendrils to smooth sides, and it can’t be easy with that pale colour.

It’s a bit hit and miss photographing them.

I think this jellyfish fits in the mostly harmless category.

Beautiful in their way but are they dangerous? xx

In my marine invertebrates book it says, “The author has handled it with no ill effects.” Of course, you could say the same thing about a grenade!
