If I get out with my kayak and can remember to get them, or see any pods, I will grab some. I want some for my new (to me) 135 gal setup. I just have to get over the fear of a call about flooding the front room....

I will PM you when I get some.

Ive never seen a bigger one.. not even floating in the ocean while fishing. These little ones seem to wash up on shore..
when they wash up on our beaches they are about that size too, 3-5 inches. the tentacles on them are over a foot though

Well, I went to Ft. DeSoto this weekend and if you google it you'll see that it's a peninsula off of a peninsula so no mangrove pods there. I'll keep looking though.

To all of you beach dwellers, maybe you know what this is. They had washed up on shore in NC when I was down there last year. One was still pulsing so I grabbed it with a towel and put it back in, just because I had to try to save it...

Sort of hard to tell, the jellyfish is pretty bleached and the tentacles are retracted, but abpout 95% sure it's a white spotted jellyfish aka Australian spotted, Phyllorhiza punctata. Typically wash up on NC, actually the largest ever was found off NC, to spite being a southeast Pacific native. They only contain wild venom, as they are planktonic filter feeders. Non-threat to humans
Probbly would have been best to leave it washed up. Number of creatures depend on food washing up from the ocean.
Healthy one;
