I understand that baby man-o-war's are washing up as well. They are about as big as a silver dollar with green or blue tentacles all the way around the edges. Don't know if they can sting at that size, but wouldn't risk it.

Those are either fish chips or Flounder money.

I think those were discussed in another thread. The are blue buttons or something like that and don't sting. Keep in mind that man o' wars are oblong in shape not round. Oh and they sting from "birth".

You're right. Part of the skeletons of Blue Button Jellyfish, Porpita porpita (not really jellyfish at all).
