Lion's Mane Jellyfish swimming at Pensacola Beach / Fort Pickens Beach

[MultiGomez44]

Yh but i saw a lions mane in greece and i think i got stung by it and it flt like stinging nettles and never put vinegar on it as it makes it worse put hot water on it. i have also seen a box jellyfish in new zealand and i was put in hosp. for that. OUCH!

[vanillastar011]

ummmm..........i think the jellyfish is dead.

[againstvalentine]

@vanillastar011 Definitely not. Do you not see it moving? The water was fairly still, with the exception of a little bit of wind.

[metalafi]

I use to love to look at Jellyfish but i got stung by a manawore (i think thats what its called) and now i wont even go in the water if i see one.

@xxEDWARDxxFANPIRExx Manawhore

[darkandugly]

@xxEDWARDxxFANPIRExx wow really i heard those stings are really painful

[xxEDWARDxxFANPIRExx]

@darkandugly Yes very, it left a scar for a while.

it tends to go the smaller something is the more venom and more fatal the sting or bite will be

[againstvalentine]

That isn't the case with Lion's Mane jellies. The larger they are, the more dangerous their stings are.

[Cnidarious]

aw, its looking about ready to beach. Id collect it with a large pale and move it to deeper in a high flow area.

But thats just me.

[CartoonGuide]

lol I wouldnt even touch it since its sting can kill you lol.

[Cnidarious]

Not really, Cyanea Stings can Hurt and leave marks, But Generally these animals Can`t kill, especially at this size. On the other hand if it were a giant size, the amount of venom it could inoculate could change things. cyanea "lions manes" are considered Moderate to severe stingers. Small Individuals though they may cause pain won`t kill you unless your allergic to the venom. as a general Rule of thumb most if not all scyphozoans seem to share this quality.

[biapro49]

ahhhh i hate the jellyfish there everywhere now it ruins the beach but in pensacola the salt water is usually always clear

[againstvalentine]

I don't usually have a problem with the jellies unless it's windy or we just had a storm.

[boop9000]

ther from crabs

[alexnizcool]

i live in england and im moving to fort myers florida soon i was wondering if you see them there aswell cos i whant to have a look at them closer

[againstvalentine]

Fort Myers is still on the Gulf side, so you might see them. However it's a lot further south than Pensacola Beach, so I couldn't tell you honestly. Just be careful and don't get too close! They do sting.

[alexnizcool]

thanks for that
