Many or all of the jellyfish photos on this page were contributed to BeachHunter by visitors to this site. Now that so many people have digital cameras, they take photos of everything while on their beach vacation. This has been a huge help for me in creating these pages on jellyfish. If you have photos of jellyfish that are not yet pictured this site, please send them to me and I'll put them up and give you credit for the photo. I am not a jellyfish identification expert, so some of the jellyfish appearing on this site are not yet identified. If you can identify them, please send an email to me at beachhunter[at]beachhunter.net with whatever information you have, and who you are and/or how you made the identification and how you would like to be credited or linked to. Thanks to all for sending photos! |

Purple Jellyfish ( Pelagia noctiluca )
Above photo sent in by M. Crowther. Photo taken on Miramar Beach, FL (near Destin). I have tentatively identified this as a Purple Jellyfish (Pelagia noctiluca). It does have stinging tentacles.
