    I know this is for aquariums but I am stumped. A friend found this on the beach. I couldn't figure this out. So you here are the experts!

    is it hard or soft ?
    do you see a mouth on it?
    can you flip it over and take a pic.
    has it gotten any bigger from when you took this pic?

    It was taken by a friend a few weeks ago. I asked the same questions. hard? soft? flip it? She thought of it enough to take a picture, but not to analyze it.
    I was guessing a kind of jelly.

    looks a bit like a by-the-wind sailor. Think a Jelly with a sail. Related to portuguese man 'o war I think.

    This is a by-the-wind-sailor/sail jellyfish.
