ID: Oregon jellyfish
This fellow came floating by as I was photographing sandpipers in Florence harbor on the Oregon coast. Can anyone tell me what the species is? I would estimate the bell diameter to be in the 7-9-inch range.

In the Atlantic I would call this Chrysaora isosceles - don't know if its the same species in the Pacific.

Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll do some googling & see what I can find out about Chrysaora on the net.
