Purple Jellyfish (Pelagia noctiluca). Jellyfish are made up of about 95% water which makes them light enough to move through the water. Because they are mostly water, they are not a very good food source which, combined with stinging cells in their tentacles, helps to ward off predatos. This one was found in the California Channel Islands.
