Moon Jellies

 

I am learning that moon jellies, which have been washing up on the shore in droves lately, dry out very quickly once they are out of the water. They are high in fatty acids, so the birds and other predators like to feast on them. Most of the ones I see are sort of wilting away, but every once in a while I see one that must have just been left, poor things. I wish there was something that could be done to get them back in the water, but I don't think that's done, so I will just leave it alone.
