Field Notes

Description:

Such a small little jelly!! If anyone knows what classification I can put it in, let me know. I put it in other.

Habitat:

Cannonballs live in warm, estuarian waters, with an average temperature of 23.1 °C (73.6 °F) and average salinities of 33.8 ppt (parts per thousand).[3]

Notes:

He just washed ashore during high tide. Beautiful jelly. About the size of a half dollar or a little smaller. I threw him back in. :)
