Aurelia, Beroe, Cyanea lamarckii (Suffolk, UK)

Description and Comments

5 Aurelia 7-10cm in shallows. 7 Cyanea lamarckii 3-4cm, all yellow, some with white objects attached underneath (shown in second pic - are these larvae?). C. lamarckii is known as the `blue jellyfish' in the UK but actually yellow ones are more common than blue. Also one Beroe, with a recently-swallowed Pleurobrachia inside. Pics: Aurelia, C. lamarckii oral view, C. lamarckii amongst marsh samphire, Beroe digesting Pleurobrachia.
