Description
Velella velella are a small purplish jellyfish aka purple sailors, or by-the-wind-sailor. They turn clear once they have dried up on land, and can be washed ashore by the thousands as shown here.
They move with the winds that drive their clear sail which is set diagonally to the long axis of the animal. While not usually harmful to humans, they are carnivorous.
