Footprints

I never seen a jelly fish like that in my whole life!How could this be, it's such a beautiful creature and yet it's dangerous, well i guess that what they say you can look but you better not touch....

glenn, the blue bottle is in fact the Portugese Man of War! Same animal, different name. I live in Australia too. ;D

I got stung by this on my foot at the beach once... not pleasant at all! It feels stingy at first however the worst feeling is the after effects of cramp like feeling that gradually creeps up your leg all the way to your abdomen almost. almost feels like the after effects of being kicked in the balls.. However, it got drastically better after an hour or so, and no long term effects!

Just walked the beach here in Daytona Florida this morning and the beach is littered with these! Some guy said it was "fish lungs" from a fishing vessel.. but no... they are jellies! :)
