Chrysaora fuscescens

Species of cnidarian

Chrysaora fuscescens, the Pacific sea nettle or West Coast sea nettle, is a widespread planktonic scyphozoan cnidarian—or medusa, "jellyfish" or "jelly"—that lives in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, in temperate to cooler waters off of British Columbia and the West Coast of the United States, ranging south to México. The Pacific sea nettle earned its common name in-reference to its defensive, 'nettle'-like sting; much like the stinging nettle plant, the sea nettle's defensive sting is often irritating to humans, though rarely dangerous.
