Description I seem to have caught him mid-stroke.

Did you know?
These guys are known more commonly as "Atlantic/East Coast Sea Nettle."
They are carnivores.
The sting isn't strong enough to kill you, unless you happen to be allergic.
Usually on the East Coast of the USA, they appear in May and stick around until September, though some stay into November.

Jellyfish floating and swimming in free water are ever so often just absolutely beautiful! Awesome capture and the sharpness and contrast is breathtaking. The complementary colours add to the overall impression. Wonderful photo!

And some can be quite dangerous with stinging tentacles.
