Velella velella

Aka by-the-wind sailor.
This little one was washed up on Salema beach today.

Velella velella have short tentacles that hang down into the sea and a thin semicircular fin set diagonally along the float that acts as a sail. They swim in colonies of millions!

Who knew??
Beautiful close up & detail. Such a beautiful colour, Interesting read too.
I’ve always been fascinated by jellyfish.
