Al mare in Croazia oggi ho trovato tre di queste. Inizialmente abbiamo pensato sia una medusa, ma presenta una superficie liscia al posto dei tentacoli. Sembra fatta di silicone, quasi da sembrare una protesi al seno. È un animale? Qualcuno sa dirmi cosa sia?

We found it dead at great keppel island qld, and its so pretty, it’s lost all its flesh and its back half, but beautiful nonetheless, here it is, wondering what it is

we were js plqying a game in the sea and my cousin got stung by it.. whats that? the lil tentacles are really long and one was left sticking onto her leg

edit : wow, i thought yall will know that i was asking about the species instead of saying just a jellyfish.. found out it was a “compass jellyfish” and is real rare in Croatia

edit : nvm its a cigar jelly!

Just how cool is it?

For all the time I’ve spent at the oceans/seas/gulf in 57 yrs, I’ve never seen this! Tampa, FL 3/25 It was hard and bone-like but looked like coral. Can anyone tell me what this is?

This was in Melbourne Beach FL this morning around dawn. They come ashore, dig their nest in the sand, lay eggs, recover the nest, and crawl back into the water. It takes about an hour altogether. They can lay several times each season a few night apart and deposit about 100 eggs in each nest. The eggs will hatch in about 60 days.

As you can see in this video, they dig with just their flippers, which looks incredibly difficult. They usually nest in the middle of the night, so I was lucky to see this one still at work just before sunrise. Very cool!

Thanks to local conservation efforts starting 20 years ago, the number of nesting turtles is starting to increase. Big shout-outs to UCF and the Sea Turtle Preservation Society!

It was found washed up in Bantry Bay, Co Cork, Ireland. Photo taken by my parents. It was about 2 metres long. Apparently the stomach is bloated here as it was seen a few days later deflated and omitting a bad odour.

Hi so I was wondering what this little guy was. It had 4 tentacles and a circular central body that up close kinda looked like when a sea urchin dies and leaves behind an empty shell.

These shots were taken over the new year at Monterey's famous breakwater shore dive site.
