We are visiting Gulf Shores, AL, and have found two types of creatures washed up on the beach that we are trying to identify. We think each is a type of jellyfish, but would like some help. The first is sized between a baseball and a small basketball - we have seen just a few of these, and they range in size. They are tinged pink, and have no hanging tentacles.

But they were hard to see if you turned it over - not sure if they were indeed tentacles. The other were tiny, about the size of a dime. They are perfectly oval, and perfectly clear. They looked like little breast implants. They have nothing inside or outside - just little jelly like ovals. You can roll them around in your hand a bit - they have some "give." Any help will satisfy our curiosities! Thanks.... Read More »
