Galveston blue jellyfish: Tentacled sea creature ‘blue buttons’ spotted ashore on Texas beaches along Gulf of Mexico
SUMMARY: Authorities in Galveston, Texas, are warning beachgoers about Blue Button Jellyfish, also known as Porpita Porpita, that have been washing ashore recently. These unique creatures can cause skin irritations if touched, so officials are urging people to keep an eye out for them. Blue Buttons are commonly found floating along the Gulf of Mexico during the summer months and are attracted to the shore by plankton blooms. They do not swim but float, and are both male and female, which allows them to reproduce independently. The blue buttons have a main body and tentacles that appear in bright blue, turquoise, and sometimes yellow colors.
