Well, it looks like all those weird jellyfish my daughter I and saw last week in the back of San Diego bay are Australian Jellies!  Wow. I wonder what else is back there besides that beast I lost which was the second of 3 monsters that eluded me the last 3 trips.  (No, I'm not still bitter!)

Here is a pic I took last week and watched a big sea turtle eat one! 
This is a small one, but they ranged in size from small to big bucket sized and were either yellow or white.

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Hope I don't run into those surfing. During the last jellyfish invasion the dude in front of me duckdived and came back up wearing one as a hat.

Worse would be box jellies or the tiny ones you can barely see but kill you in minutes. Why do people live in Australia?
