Thanks Makita but I'm sure it's not a moon jellyfish. It didnt have any tentacles. It seemed to be a clear jelly.

It will be interesting to see an ID for this jellyfish. (the yellow dots were inside - they are eggs)
JennytheTurtle
Yeah I'm sure it's a type of jellyfish but it's definitely round or at least not sausage shaped. Also, the sausage jelly had like yellow dots all over it.
Mark Ridgway
I think yours might be a kind of jellyfish from the shape but here's something else to think about... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8361533
