What is this? Jellyfish? If so, what species? Found in North Wales. (lemmy.world)

Maybe a compass jellyfish?

"Translucent yellowish-white jellyfish with brown markings around the fringe and on the top of the bell. Those atop the bell resemble a compass, with V shapes radiating out from a central point."

"Common off Southern and Western coasts of Britain in summer months."
