[LURCHER]

Just back from a fantastic week in Foca Turkey and took this shot with my Pentax Optio waterproof camera whilst snorkelling . can any body identify it please?

This is a Six Barrel Jellyfish, Rhizostoma octopus, has no sting - or only a very mild one to some - one of the biggest jellyfish we get in the UK.

We see them quite allot up here, although not so much this year, for some reason.

cheers
