Spotted Jellyfish (Desmonema gaudichaudi)
This jellyfish can sometimes be seen in our New Zealand coastal waters during the summer months. It is easily identified by the spots (or speckles) that cover the top of its 'jelly' body.
The Spotted Jellyfish is capable of
delivering a nasty sting (seldom fatal), even after having been washed ashore.
