User's notes

At the low tide these gelatinous organisms completely coated the sand on the Guerilla Bay small beach. The photographed organisms were resuspended in seawater to enable them to be examined microscopically and photographed. The largest organisms were 5mm long. The opaque internal structure looked blue and there was obvious structure amongst the gelatinous body. Beyond this structured jelly was an outer layer of completely clear invisible jelly. All evidence had disappeared next day.
