Thousands of them out at the back at Sandgate today! Dont worry if you get stung, simply wash off with tap, if itches, bit of ice. We have jellyfish sting cream at the shop if required.

These jellies dont sting, just the lice that lives on them give you a itchy rash.

Dont turn around where they are, they normally group in a big strip. Keep riding till you pass them, then turn.

Now where are the turtles!

Don't sting? Look at the welt one of these bastards gave me in the Pine River.

The blue blubber uses its oral arms to capture its food. Its oral arms are lined with numerous nematocysts that contain venomous stings.

As GRunner has probably found out, the sting can f#@%ing hurt.
