Over a 10-mile stretch of shoreline, I came across at least 10 pink meanie jellyfish, a rare and fascinating sight in our waters. I also spotted one drifting in a Port Aransas marina, wrapped around a moon jellyfish — its favorite food source. The pink meanie (scientific name Drymonema larsoni) is a jellyfish unlike most. While their size may seem intimidating, the sting of the pink meanie is mild compared to many other jellyfish. Encounters with uncommon species like the pink meanie make every beachcombing survey an adventure.
