" Are they found in the Atlantic off Florida beaches?" They are found in all waters. The ones in the Gulf (we studied in the Gulf) are typically 3-4 cm. and sometimes the only way to see them is when they diffract the light as they swim by. Now in the Gulf, there is a larger one (maybe twice that size) with brown on it that is often found in bays, but it is rarer. They are also very delicate, you cannot net them and get anything but small blobs of goo. But they can be captured in a jar. Many of them are totally transparent, but some have tints of color to them. Note: when I called them jellyfish, I was technically incorrect, jellyfish are Phylum Cnidaria. But, darn it, they are blobs of swimming jelly, and some even have tentacles, but none of them can sting you. They typically feed on plankton, but some feed on other comb jellies. You probably know some people who are like that...
