Jelly Fish
I don't like jelly fish :) even though most are quite harmless, those
Portuguese man of war jellyfish has made me hate them, just like the
tarantula has made me hate spiders
 You
will find lots of jellyfish washed up on the beaches (All dead) and
sometimes very smelly too. Keep away from them.
In October or November the jellyfish will breed, releasing tiny swimming
embryos into the water, and the adults then probably die as the water gets
colder. The embryos attach themselves to fixed structures.
They look a bit like tiny sea anemones and feed and
grow like this for a year, hanging downwards from a support.
People have were warned not to touch the jellyfish,
about 1,000 of them came ashore at Blackrock sands in Morfa Bychan, near
Porthmadog, a place I visit regular (June 2007).
The moon jellyfish are the UK's most common and the
species can arrive in areas in massive numbers. They deliver a mild sting if
touched. It is not too dangerous, but it could be worse for people who are
allergic.
