This is similar in size to the one I found

Yes Jenny so it is.
Goplers are really weird creatures, nasty slimy sometimes stinging creatures that even so have a certain beauty from a distance.
Most of the ones i see are what the Danes call "Vand men" (Vand = Water) but now and then we also get big ones called "Brand men" (Brand = Burn).

Thanks for this info John, the names the Danes call them are really strange.

Yes Jenny I guess you would think so but the names are logical, Watermen don'''t sting, the others do.
Gopler is the Scientific name for all Jelly fish which of course are not Fish at all.
I won't say what the Japanese names are. LOL

Yes beauty from a distance... A LOT of distance!

I was quite fascinated by them Gracie really, they couldn't hurt me and I didn't touch them, I was just wanting to take as many pictures as I could while it was there

Thanks Tim - quite a surprise at its size

Wow, the man in the photo really gives a good perspective of the size of this jellyfish. You get some big ones down under!
