Description

The Compass jellyfish, known scientifically as Chrysaora hysoscella, is a yellow-white jellyfish with brown markings on the top of its bell. These markings are v-shaped and radiant out from the center and resemble a compass, the Compass jellyfish’s namesake. Along the edge of the bell, the Compass jellyfish protrudes fringe with wavy oral arms and has tentacles hanging from the center of the bell. The Compass jelly has a powerful sting and should be avoided if recognized on the beach. The Compass jelly is common off the coast of Britain during the warmer summer months.
