Hi Jahir and Nancy,

at the risk of starting a flood of emails, not sure I agree with Allan's ID (sorry Allan :-)).  With the lack of tentacles and the lack of detail in your photo, it could really be a number of species.  

You really need a piece of tentacle, some nematocysts and some detail on the medusal canals etc if you wnat to be sure of its ID.
