While not true jellyfish, blue bottles are a colony of individuals known for their blue "sail" and long blue fishing tentacle. Often found in large numbers driven to shore by winds, they are about 6cm across with tentacles up to 1m long.
The blue ‘float’ is a living, muscular bag that contains its own gas similar to air. The float has sailing characteristics and are either left-handed or right-handed.
