I saw many of these jellyfish in the bay while in Sausalito. They appear to be part of the Aurelia genus, a genus of thirteen species of scyphozoan jellyfish. The species of this genus are all nearly impossible to distinguish from one another.
Jellyfish are the oldest living multi-organ animals. They are found in every ocean, at all different depths. They are among my top few favorite animals, and I love photography jellyfish whenever I get the chance.
