Portuguese man-of-war

Very Interesting: while it appears to be a jellyfish, it is actually a colony of creatures. Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to rescue a beached man-of-war. Since they have nomeans of self-propulsion, if they are returned to the surf (very unadvisable to attempt) they will simply wash up again. Sadly, this one was very much alive and kept raising its "sail" in order to catch the breeze.
