[Cnidaria] Help with identification

[Frank Kane]

Hi,

I recently got some photos sent to me of some Jellyfish from a bloom
which occurred of the west coast of Ireland recently (End of October).
There were large numbers of this specimen in the water which turned the
water very brown. Would anyone be able to give me an idea as to what
species this may be.


Regards,
 
Frank
