SAN DIEGO – Scientists say a rare species of dark purple jellyfish is showing up in San Diego Bay and washing ashore on beaches.

The black sea nettle can grow up to 3 feet across with 30-foot-long tentacles.


Hillgarth says they sting, so boaters and beachgoers should admire them without touching.
