AequoreaLike they're easy to photograph. Especially when you're being cautious with the waves to keep your feet dry.
Anyway, it was quite small (maybe 4 in. diam.) and it didn't have the internal structure of a moon jellyfish.
My best guess looking in the book later: Many-ribbed Hydromedusa. but...but...! On the web, I learn that here is where good old GFP

Randomly passes through to offer the following trivia: you know how a jellyfish is a cnidarian, right? Right? Come on, play along. "Uh, yeah, sure." Apparently cnido- is something like sting.

Jellyfish might equal cnidarian precisely, but I don't know for sure.
