Freshwater jellyfish?

[MagikSmallie]

So that means that if you include this invasive species from China there would be two different species of jellyfish in the state? http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactS...speciesID=1068

All Craspedacusta species inhabit freshwater bodies of Eastern Asia (China and Japan). However, one species Craspedacusta sowerbyi Lankester, 1880, has expanded its home-range and currently has a worldwide distribution. This species has been detected in all continents except Antarctica (Dumont 1994).

When we saw these on Cumberland the LMBV was in full swing there, we wondered if the two were tide together, I could see a bass going after one of these.

Wow! Just like JCB said. I too feel smarter. I have seen them in Cave Run. I was aware of them but still when I seen them it was very interesting. What is just as amazing is the Bryozoa. Always thought it was some amphibious lizard type critters egg mass. I now know. Thanks everybody for the education.

When it was swimming, It went from a dime to a quarter in size. It was a really neat experience to watch them swim.
