Ron AdleyCyanea lamarckii...Although the sting is deadly to its prey the jellyfish, which is normally seen in the waters around Scotland, is not a danger to humans although some people do react more strongly....Belying its name, the Blue Jellyfish is sometimes pure white!
Cynthia D. Trowbridge Is this Cyanea lamarckii? Sorry for photo quality (early evening, pouring rain, etc.). Looks like this species, based on http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Jelly.htm
Many individuals in below the tidal rapids at Lough Hyne today (Co. Cork, Ireland).
David Fenwick Snr Certainly looks like it Cynthia, they turn up here on the south coast of Cornwall round about this time of year too and about a similar size.

David Fenwick Snr We had pieces of C. lamarckii wash in at St. Ives, Cornwall, earlier this week.

Stacey Sewell "Blue Jellyfish - Cyanea lamarckii - (yes its very blue and a jellyfish so thats what they called it!) in the cove waters this week. Verified by the MCS, this beautiful creature gives a mild sting but has the most amazing indigo colour! Once again Portheras Cove is visited by amazing wildlife :-)"
Andy HortonCyanea lamarcki.
No common name: Norwegians call it Blue Jellyfish, or Bluefire http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Jelly.htm
Paul Freeman Is this the same flavour? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=237517910351&set=a.13863385351.68153.712350351&type=3&theater
