This jellyfish, the Sea nettle is saucer-shaped with brown or red pigments, usually 6-8 inches in diameter. Four oral arms and long marginal tentacles hang from the bell they can extend several feet. Symptoms from sea nettle stings are similar to those of the lion’s mane. Given that they are most abundant in the summer, when the greatest number of people are likely to be swimming in the ocean, this species is thought to be responsible for most of the jellyfish stings that occur in South Carolina. Exercise caution if sea nettles are observed in the water | This jellyfish, the Sea nettle is saucer-shaped with brown or red pigments, usually 6-8 inches in diameter.
