It is known as a cannonball jellyfish also known as a mushroom head jellyfish. It can be dangerous to humans but not always. Don't pick things up if you don't know what it is.

@liambreece4396 no you can touch it it doesn't sting you besides I like to watch 😎 no thank you though bro bro I won't run into a tree trying to avoid it now you have done your part for mankind
My brother dropped a dead jellyfish on my foot at the beach one day. I had a small cut on my big toe from the night before. Overnight, my leg swelled up to equal the size of my thigh. I was feverish and on THE most intense pain I had ever felt. The EMTs who took care of me, told my Mom that an hour or so later, and I could have possibly lost my life. At the very least, my leg. It is wise not to pick up anything unfamiliar.
That is a cannonball jellyfish. People usually call them jellyballs. They’re super common at Edisto Beach. They’re not missing tentacles, they just don’t have any.
Editso island beautiful totally different world . Not sure of the miles but the very end or tip of South Carolina . I say it’s a good distance over 2 hours
You're about five blocks from where I grew up, ten from where I live now. Cannonball jelly. IF you're able to get a sting from it, it'll feel like less than a mosquito bite. Don't let the non-natives scare you.
That’s actually a canon Bocelli, which are native to Myrtle Beach Waters, they are actually pretty harmless. If they do sting you it just feels like an itch
I know you're a wonderful dad. I see the audience is giving you a lot of crap for touching something that you can't identify, and although I do agree, better safe than sorry. I love your passion and curiosity and adventure with your family. ❤❤❤
If you don't know what it is, don't pick it up. Those little fins can still sting you. Teach your children better to not pick unusual things up off the beach.
I mean people pick jellyfish up all the time, you just have to be careful of the tentacles. Most of the time when they are washed up they are balled up or missing their tentacles.
Cannonball jelly fish. Holding them from the top mushroom cap looking part can make your hands or clothing turn brown when they get taken out of water. They can sting other sea animals i gelieve but they have such a small tentacle or stinger or whatever its called that it rarely has an effect on us.
Thats a cannonball jellyfish. Been living in the MB area for over 2 years now and we get them all the time. But if you dont know what it is, dont pick it up. Cannonball stings aren't anything to write home about, but you can still get cardiac problems from being stung. And jellyfish stingers still work *long* after the animal dies
It’s a cannonball jellyfish, for sure. Super cute but be careful. You really should never pick up things that wash up on the beach….you don’t know if it stings, releases toxins, or is just straight out poisonous. Wash your hands really well before touching your kids , eating or touching your face
First off - he picked it up from the top. Secondly- anything on the bottom could Hefner have reached up to sting him. Third- it was most probably dead. I d be willing to bet he was careful on all fronts.
I read some of the comments and a lot of people said that he could get stung even know it’s dead, but it is a cannonball jellyfish and those cannot sting. Search it up.

Agreed I do go into the ocean. I snorkel and scuba around the world and nobody ever had to tell me not to touch any animal except maybe my mother when I was very little.

I have a very scientific mind. Ever since I was a child, I have loved studying, observing, and examining things. When I was 11, I started reading college textbooks for fun, and I was fascinated with biology, animals, and the cycle of life. When we were camping one year, I came across a squirrel that was dead. I noticed it was "moving," got really excited, and went to get my 7 year old brother. I brought him to the squirrel, grabbed a stick, and started to explain the science of everything to him. I turned the squirrel over so he could see the maggots inside and told him, "Isn't this beautiful? Everything has a purpose, a reason, and nothing is wasted. Even death feeds and continues life." Some of my family members found us and saw what we were doing. I learned recently that a lot of my relatives have been weary of me since that day and thought I might be some sort of psychopath. I'm very pleased to see that not everyone would share their sentiments. I was just so happy to have come across something that I could share with my brother and teach him the things I learned.
Thank you Dana. Not everyone is capable of using simple common sense. It’s a wonder anyone survives into early adulthood these days. I can tell that you, at least, had exceptional parents ❤
I'm an Australian and we have these little guys show up on the coast all the time, it's a jellyfish, there normally safe to touch but just grab it by the head and Chuck him back into the ocean, trust me he'll be rather thankful, love you guys ❤

For those who do not know: That is a MUSHROOM CAP JELLYFISH or RHOPILEMA VERRILLI. It is a species of jellyfish in the family Rhizostomatidae. They are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their mushroom-shaped medusae. The species does not have any tentacles; however, they still have stinging cells, called nematocysts, within their bells, which can produce mild stings to humans. "Mushroom cap jellyfish" and "sea mushroom jellyfish" are common names for the rare Rhopilema verrili. Their common name refers to the shape of the medusa, which resembles a mushroom cap. Rhopilema verrilli, originally Nectopilema verrilli, was named by Fewkes (1887) after a specimen found in the New Haven Harbor of Connecticut. The mushroom jellyfish is often confused with the cannonball jellyfish. Both species lack tentacles, but the R. verrilli has finger-shaped arms, while the S. meleagris does not. The mushroom jellyfish is also much flatter, softer, and larger as it can be up to 51 cm or 20 inches in diameter. Conversely, the cannonball jellyfish is more roundish and has a slightly rougher umbrella that is brownish on the edge and grows up to 25 cm or 10 inches in diameter. The diameter of Rhopilema verrilli ranges from 35 to 50 cm; the maximum size found is 51 cm in bell diameter. The bell is gelatinous, mushroom-shaped, and translucent. The bell ranges from a variety of colors such as white to light yellow, brown, blue, pink or green. The margins of the bell usually have a very light-brown pigmentation. Laterally, the species has a reddish-brown pigmentation from the organs underneath such as the pinkish digestive glands. The mushroom jellyfish lack tentacles; instead, they have 8 oral arms with finger-shaped appendages with nematocyst warts underneath the middle of the umbrella. The arms are brownish in color. The species has 8 rhopalia, which are small pink structures located around the bell margin. Each rhopalium contains a gravity sensor, allowing the jellyfish to tell its orientation and direction. This jellyfish also has 8 radial canals. The radial canals along with the stomach form the gastroendodermal system. Rhopilema verrilli are distributed throughout the Western Atlantic of the U.S. and Canada, but they reside mostly along the coast in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and between North Carolina and New England. They sometimes occur inshore in mouths of estuaries. During the fall and early winter, they may enter into the lower Chesapeake Bay. The species are distributed along the latitude coordinates: 18.21 degrees (min) and 38.32 degrees (max) and longitude coordinates: -97.8 degrees (min) and -76.5 degrees (max). The mushroom jellyfish survive off of tiny plankton parts, which are pushed out of their umbrella by the water and are caught with their finger-like appendages. Rhopilema Verrilli do not present a stinging threat to humans because they do not have tentacles but stinging cells that reside inside their bells. Cnidarians have life cycles that alternate between asexual polyps and sexual medusa. However, the class Scyphozoan jellyfishes live most of their life cycles as a medusa. Rhopilema Verrilli, belonging to the class Scyphozoa, are gonochoric or unisexual. The life cycle starts off by the adult medusa laying an egg. After fertilization, the egg develops into a free-living larva, or planula. The planula floats around until it attaches itself onto a hard substrate, metamorphosing itself into a polyp called, scyphistoma. The scyphistoma will reproduce asexually through budding, and transform into a strobila. Each stroblia matures into an ephryae, an immature form of a medusa. When they mature and break away from the other stroblia, the ephryae finally becomes an adult medusa. Commercial fishermen consider R. verrilli and S. meleagris as pests, but R. verrilli are less of a problem than S. meleagris. The mushroom jellyfishes are served pickled, or dried out into paste in Asian countries such as China and Japan. The taxon for Rhopilema has not yet been assessed for the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List. Established in 1964, The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species. The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive. It provides information about range, population size, habitat and ecology, use and/or trade, threats, and conservation actions that will help inform necessary conservation decisions. The IUCN Red List shows us where and what actions need to be taken to save the building blocks of nature from extinction. It provides a straightforward way to factor biodiversity needs into decision-making processes by providing a wealth of useful information on species. Scientific journals regularly cite The IUCN Red List in peer-reviewed literature. Each year numerous new conservation articles examine the values of The IUCN Red List and refer to its important contribution to conservation planning. Downloads of IUCN Red List data from the website show that academics from research institutions worldwide export IUCN Red List data for research purposes on a daily basis. And so much more... 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love how people don't realize that you risk getting stung even touching the top Dome of a jellyfish because they have needles that if they're still alive they can push through the top of their Dome to inject Venom in you
You have to be careful of picking stuff up off the beach especially when you don't know what it is because it can be poisonous and or end up hurting you
I had a friend who he and his parents would go to cherry grove beach in North Myrtle every summer for a week. 1 day of the week, me, my friend and his father would go into the ocean and fish. Since they were easy to catch, we called those Jellyballs. they are of the jelly fish family but arent 100% jelly fish as they dont have tenticles. Jelly balls, are excellent bait when cut up to fish for Atlantic Spade Fish.
Imagine being lucky enough to not have a million of these wash up onto your backyard everyday lol. They’re cannonball jellyfish and they’re pretty much completely harmless
That’s a jellyfish! But please don’t pick those up! I live in Myrtle Beach myself and those things can sting good. Please don’t mess with them either, but they are cool!
Man I was at the beach all weekend and those things were everywhere. Spent a lot of time burying them so people wouldn't step on them and then just started throwing them back in the water
anything for views.. Dude you could've asked the same question and taken a video or pic without picking it up. Great example for the young ones. Had you didn't get stung
heyy!! hope you had a great time in nc, i live there! and also when i went to myrtle beach i saw that same jellyfish! i threw it back in the ocean through a bucket, but i later saw it had washed up again 😂❤
It's a jellyfish that's been half eaten. Myrtle Beach is well known to have a lot of jelly's. You find them washed up on the shore all the time and if you stay at the hotels on the Grand Strand you can see them glowing all throughout the water at night.
you do not see them glowing "all night". Grew up there and have never seen glowing jellyfish nor heard anyone who has. So if you saw it then it was a rare event.
It’s fine if you touch it, I live in garden city right next to myrtle beach and me and my family constantly see them, they always wash up on shore, these kinds of jelly fish are fine to touch just be careful for the small blue ones they are deadly, so don’t be scared or anything if you see it, its dead anyway but I will warn you they do stink so be careful after touching because you will have smelly hands
I like your guys' advice.... My mom told me the same thing about picking up guys.... Don't touch them .....they will mostly likely sting bite or kill you!! And so I didn't 😁
I do live in Myrtle Beach. I surf. All time in the water with them. One year you could not get in the water they were all in thd surf. He's lucky he didn't touch it's tentacles. If you cut their tentacles off you will see voids in their body where you can see little baby fish their body dissolves to eat

No. Not dangerous at all I’ve played with these for years😂

I totally agree! It's best to be safe then sorry. Some jellyfish can be poisonous their venom can kill you instantly!
Don’t know, DONT TOUCH!
They are not dangerous to humans cause they have no stingers
It's a mushroom or cannonball jellyfish. For you though, it's called a don't touch what you don't know.

The bell ranges from a variety of colors such as white to light yellow, brown, blue, pink or green. The margins of the bell usually have a very light-brown pigmentation. Laterally, the species has a reddish-brown pigmentation from the organs underneath such as the pinkish digestive glands. The mushroom jellyfish lack tentacles; instead, they have 8 oral arms with finger-shaped appendages with nematocyst warts underneath the middle of the umbrella. The arms are brownish in color. The species has 8 rhopalia, which are small pink structures located around the bell margin. Each rhopalium contains a gravity sensor, allowing the jellyfish to tell its orientation and direction. This jellyfish also has 8 radial canals. The radial canals along with the stomach form the gastroendodermal system.
Rhopilema verrilli are distributed throughout the Western Atlantic of the U.S. and Canada, but they reside mostly along the coast in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and between North Carolina and New England. They sometimes occur inshore in mouths of estuaries. During the fall and early winter, they may enter into the lower Chesapeake Bay. The species are distributed along the latitude coordinates: 18.21 degrees (min) and 38.32 degrees (max) and longitude coordinates: -97.8 degrees (min) and -76.5 degrees (max).
The mushroom jellyfish survive off of tiny plankton parts, which are pushed out of their umbrella by the water and are caught with their finger-like appendages.
Rhopilema Verrilli do not present a stinging threat to humans because they do not have tentacles but stinging cells that reside inside their bells.
Cnidarians have life cycles that alternate between asexual polyps and sexual medusa. However, the class Scyphozoan jellyfishes live most of their life cycles as a medusa. Rhopilema Verrilli, belonging to the class Scyphozoa, are gonochoric or unisexual. The life cycle starts off by the adult medusa laying an egg. After fertilization, the egg develops into a free-living larva, or planula. The planula floats around until it attaches itself onto a hard substrate, metamorphosing itself into a polyp called, scyphistoma. The scyphistoma will reproduce asexually through budding, and transform into a strobila. Each stroblia matures into an ephryae, an immature form of a medusa. When they mature and break away from the other stroblia, the ephryae finally becomes an adult medusa.
Commercial fishermen consider R. verrilli and S. meleagris as pests, but R. verrilli are less of a problem than S. meleagris. The mushroom jellyfishes are served pickled, or dried out into paste in Asian countries such as China and Japan.
The taxon for Rhopilema has not yet been assessed for the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List.
Established in 1964, The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species.
The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive. It provides information about range, population size, habitat and ecology, use and/or trade, threats, and conservation actions that will help inform necessary conservation decisions.
The IUCN Red List shows us where and what actions need to be taken to save the building blocks of nature from extinction. It provides a straightforward way to factor biodiversity needs into decision-making processes by providing a wealth of useful information on species.
Scientific journals regularly cite The IUCN Red List in peer-reviewed literature. Each year numerous new conservation articles examine the values of The IUCN Red List and refer to its important contribution to conservation planning. Downloads of IUCN Red List data from the website show that academics from research institutions worldwide export IUCN Red List data for research purposes on a daily basis.
And so much more...
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
😮oh wow..
Bro just copy and pasted
@@shannoncages4237 So? What's your actual point? 😐😐😐😐
there’s no way in hell i’m reading allat
TMI
I live in Myrtle Beach and we see hundreds of these a year!! These are really common. They are cannonball jellyfish (yes they sting)
As a person that lives in Myrtle beach, I’ve seen that creature and they will sting
I just CANT BELIEVE that you have children with you and you picked it up????!!!!
Rumor has it he didn't live to hear the answer.
Ohhhhh that could be a bit
over the top ??
You got jokes!
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Apparently, there are no books, television, or internet, where this man is from. All signs would point to a jellyfish.
HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS and yes it will not sting or hurt you in any way
I love how people don't realize that you risk getting stung even touching the top Dome of a jellyfish because they have needles that if they're still alive they can push through the top of their Dome to inject Venom in you
"Tell me what kind of fish this is."
Jelly... that sir is a jellyfish...
I'm just surprised he didn't sting himself
this one doesn’t sting
@@antonchepelev interesting. I know there are a few species that dont/can't sting. Do you know by chance what species this is?
As a local I can confirm that is a common ball jelly they are completely harmless to people
It’s a cannonball jellyfish. They don’t sting and you can completely pick them up
Having lived in Pensacola I knew instantly that it was a jellyfish. I miss the beaches!
I'm from as far from the beaches as you can get and knew it was a jelly fish 😂
You have to be careful of picking stuff up off the beach especially when you don't know what it is because it can be poisonous and or end up hurting you
It’s a cabbage head. They’re all over it’s behind the breakers at Myrtle. When there’s wild weather they wash up. They’re pretty harmless
It's a jellyfish. You see them laying all over the beach in the mornings.
I live in NC near Myrtle Beach, that's a jellyfish. Can't tell you what type but I can tell you to be careful when picking up one.
Those don't really sting if u pick them up by the top and not the bottom
@@No-zg7ix it can still be dangerous to pick up one
@@GalaxyPrincessK yeah ik but if u pick them up right then they won't sting u
I'm in Wilmington NC, where are you? That's a don't touch me fish lol
CANNONBALL JELLY FisSh care they can sting never pick them up from the bottom only the top like this guy did
If you’re at the ocean and you don’t know what it is don’t touch it, it might look dead but it could bite you with poison and kill you. Be safe❤
my friends and i throw these at each other when surfing. they’re harmless lmaoo
I went to Myrtle Beach in 2019. Just before covid. And let me tell you... There are so many sharks down here!!!!
When you aren’t sure, have your wife pick it up. You don’t want to take unnecessary risks.
😂
Yes, have her pick it up and slap you upside your head!!
Legit LOL
That's totally wrong.
Still funny though. 🤣
100 👍
Some people will never learn what not to touch.Or what they can touch.
Well I mean that’s how you Learn
Learning the wrong way but you’re definitely right
Should also learn when to use to and too. They are not interchangeable.
This particular jelly won’t sting but you’re right
@@falkrish5288it will if you touch the bottom of you’re touching the top part you’re fine
I had a friend who he and his parents would go to cherry grove beach in North Myrtle every summer for a week. 1 day of the week, me, my friend and his father would go into the ocean and fish. Since they were easy to catch, we called those Jellyballs. they are of the jelly fish family but arent 100% jelly fish as they dont have tenticles. Jelly balls, are excellent bait when cut up to fish for Atlantic Spade Fish.
Omg I’m in Myrtle beach and just saw that exact jellyfish this morning. Lifeguard said they are harmless
The fact that this man doesn't know this is a jelly fish is outstanding
Guess ya can't take a joke. Outstanding.
Be careful touching jellyfish. Some can sting you without touching their tentacles. Not fun
Jellyfish dude,looks like something bit the tinticles off though but DEFINITELY a jellyfish
Imagine being lucky enough to not have a million of these wash up onto your backyard everyday lol. They’re cannonball jellyfish and they’re pretty much completely harmless
Cannonball jelly!
Also heard them called "mushroom jellies" but only a couple times.
I just learned to never pick things up on the beach if you don't know what it is and I know know what a cannonball jellyfish looks like.
I'm amazed that people don't realize that sharks, alligators, and deadly jellyfish are the Carolina's! 🌴
That’s a jellyfish! But please don’t pick those up! I live in Myrtle Beach myself and those things can sting good. Please don’t mess with them either, but they are cool!
Man I was at the beach all weekend and those things were everywhere. Spent a lot of time burying them so people wouldn't step on them and then just started throwing them back in the water
It's like saying don't go in the grizzly bear cage and guess who couldn't wait to examine the grizzlies.
Gotta check their teeth to know how old it is, dontcha know.
anything for views.. Dude you could've asked the same question and taken a video or pic without picking it up. Great example for the young ones. Had you didn't get stung
We call it a jelly ball. If you fish, it's good bait for sheephead..gotta love it
heyy!! hope you had a great time in nc, i live there! and also when i went to myrtle beach i saw that same jellyfish! i threw it back in the ocean through a bucket, but i later saw it had washed up again 😂❤
It's a jellyfish that's been half eaten. Myrtle Beach is well known to have a lot of jelly's. You find them washed up on the shore all the time and if you stay at the hotels on the Grand Strand you can see them glowing all throughout the water at night.
It looks pretty whole to me…
Half eaten? These comments under this video are killing me
you do not see them glowing "all night". Grew up there and have never seen glowing jellyfish nor heard anyone who has. So if you saw it then it was a rare event.
LMAO! You have NO clue what you are talking about. This is a WHOLE cannonball jellyfish. Favorite snack for sea turtles. They do NOT glow.
Never touch something with your bare hands if you don't knownwhat it is!!! Omgosh...I'm glad your ok
It’s fine if you touch it, I live in garden city right next to myrtle beach and me and my family constantly see them, they always wash up on shore, these kinds of jelly fish are fine to touch just be careful for the small blue ones they are deadly, so don’t be scared or anything if you see it, its dead anyway but I will warn you they do stink so be careful after touching because you will have smelly hands
Bros never seen a jellyfish before 💀
This time of year they're all over the coast. It's crazy that the beach is a different place from day to night. And yet also from season to season.
Next time you find something that you don’t know what it is, don’t just pick it up, but give it a lick.
🤣🤣
I think that's some type of jellyfish
I live in Myrtle Beach.... Sometimes they are all over the place and we definitely DON'T touch them.
Maybe it’s me, but the last thing I’m about to do with something I can’t identify is “touch” it.
I like your guys' advice.... My mom told me the same thing about picking up guys.... Don't touch them .....they will mostly likely sting bite or kill you!! And so I didn't 😁
I do live in Myrtle Beach. I surf. All time in the water with them. One year you could not get in the water they were all in thd surf. He's lucky he didn't touch it's tentacles. If you cut their tentacles off you will see voids in their body where you can see little baby fish their body dissolves to eat
Ok, so why are you touching it, if you don't know what kind of fish it is???😮
