Sea Nettles are a type of Jellyfish that can be found in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The ones in this video are Pacific Sea Nettles from the Georgia Aquarium. They have a bell shaped "head" and long stinging tentacles. These tenticles are covered in nematocysts which help them to capture plankton and small fish. These types of jellies will not kill a human with their sting unless someone is allergic. It will be moderately painful and cause a rash that should be treated immediately with vinegar.

  • John, I like your video here. I have been doing a research project on the fuscescens at the GA Aquarium for the past 6 months or so. They are such incredible animals! My study is primarily on their ephyral stage, but I have done some work with the medusas as well. Good to see a fellow Jelly-enthusiast here ;-).

    cheers!

  • Love the GA Agquarium =)

  • I saw one of these yesterday out on Mission beach in Tulalip, WA. I didn't even know what it was until I searched it online. love the video.
