Bizarre-looking blue blob creatures are once again washing up on California's beaches, but scientists have said they are usually harmless to humans.
They have an appearance similar to jellyfish but are a different species. They get their name because of the sail-like features on their body. "They have a pretty complex life history. There are additional stages where they will reside in the deep sea during the wintertime. Then, when conditions are such that they support a lot of zooplankton activity, like we see here in the spring, they transition to the stage with the sail, and they make an excursion from the deep sea up to the surface,” Scripps Institution of Oceanography pelagic invertebrate collection manager Linsey Sala said in a university feature on the creatures.
