Hi, I've got a bit of an unconventional jelly ID question! As someone who is extremely normal about jellies I have plastered way too many of these really cute stickers from @pikaole all over my laptop! They are very clearly based on different species, but they aren't listed anywhere, and I genuinely have no idea what the 5th one in the top row is? It definitely looks Rhizostomeae but I went through the Wikipedia page and could not find anything similar 🥲. I would have guessed maybe it was supposed to be a fried egg jelly but that's already in here, so idk? I'm probably just missing an obvious one, but any ideas what it could be? I've had them for like a year and I've been slowly going insane trying to figure it out lol

Hello ! First off, these are really cool stickers.

Second off, I would agree with you that it seems like a fried egg jelly ! The circle inside the bell is a very recognizable characteristic of that species, and while the other one is also probably a fried egg jelly, that doesn't mean there can't be two of them (I think).

Thank you for this ask and I'm going to go check out this person's shop now because I am in dire need or more jellyfish stickers

hi, my friend sent me a tiktok assigning people jellyfish based on their birth month and most of them seemed accurately labeled except for this one, which i haven't been able to figure out a species name of? me and another friend were both thinking mastigias papua maybe, but i'd love to get your opinion on it if possible! thank you so much 🫶 (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTHsSdyfhFaB7-KRtFM/ should be the link to the tiktok, but i'm confused about this jellyfish in particular!)

I am honored ! You and your friends are absolutely correct, that looks to me like mastigias papua (also known as lagoon jellyfish, spotted jellyfish or golden jellyfish). They can range from bright yellow to almost bluish grey, so it can be confusing to identify- but I'd recognize those pickle arms anywhere !

You've got a sharp eye !

The screen saver on our TV has a jellyfish I can't identify to save my life (the curiosity is eating at me) can you please help?

Geez Louise, that's a tough one ! It barely even looks like a jelly at all !

I'd say maybe a sea nettle, and if so, probbaly an Atlantic Sea Nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) based on the coloring. Or a blob of white dye in water, not sure.

Thank you lots for the ask, and sorry for the little help I can provide 😔

(also giant phantom jellyfish are some of my favorites too! but my all-time favorites are egg yolk jellies and narcomedusae :)

you're so real for that. egg yolk jellies are adorable and narcomedusae are such critters

Just so you know: I'm pretty sure it'd be okay if you would want to scroll through the jellyfish tag and identify jellyfish even if you weren't tagged on a post! ^w^ [Though, if it isn't a bother for you, I would still like to tag you :D]

I don't have much free time these days unfortunately, which is why I only identify from tags for now- But you can absolutely go ahead and tag me in stuff !
