Topic: New Marine Species To Add: Thimble Jellyfish (Linuche unguiculata)

Chris,

Can you please add a new species which seems to have drifted in from the tropics; the tiny tubes of Thimble Jellyfish Linuche unguiculata  (Schwartz, 1788).

Both Steve Trewhella and Dave Fenwick Snr have found the species in the last few days - Steve at Chesil Beach and Dave in Cornwall.

Many thanks.
Steve
