I am happy that there are some members who know marine animals- and because my knowledge is absolutely near cero, I ask for the name, please!

Should be Pelagia noctiluca, a.k.a. "feked your summer"

JP should visit the fauna page of MaltaWildPlants.com:

http://www.Maltawildplants.com/WildNature.php

(soon to become MaltaFauna.com)

Here is the name and info of the nasty jellyfish

Thanks RB, MWP: this reminds me that I answered your questions similar (have a look at page NN) and you said it is more easy to ask in the forum

JP: I perfectly agree, its a bit more fun, social and 'easy' to ask on the forum - I just wanted to advertise the fauna page

(well to be serious, just wanted to let you know about that page)

That page is very good especially for the commoner species needed to be identified, though as you said in another thread a specimen in the hand is best when dealing with invertebrates. Not to mention the laborious dissections needed to identify particular types of molluscs and dipterans
