Moon on the sand

Aurelia aurita the moon jellyfish, stranded on the strand.

I think this may be an immature one since you cannot see the four gonads which are usually visible in a clover-leaf pattern through the transparent body.

They have no heart, no stomach, and no brain and their composition is 95% water. To the touch they feel neither solid nor liquid, in fact like a gel.

They are harmless to us, living only on plankton which they capture with their diaphanous tentacles as they waft around the sea like waterborne parachutes.

The Welsh name for jellyfish is slefren fôr, sea slime, or colloquially cont y môr, which probably needs no translation.
