A giant massive barber wire jellyfish has been spotted near the Gozitan shore!

Spotted by Lewis Mark Sell, the jellyfish was three metres long! 

If you’re ever swimming and spot this kind of jellyfish make sure to swim away from it as fast as you can as it’s sting can be pretty painful to say the least.

“It’s actually not a conventional jellyfish as we know it but yet another highly stinging siphonophore species”, marine biologist, Alan Deidun explains.

It also happens to belong to same group as the deadly Portuguese man‘o war!

The jellyfish “includes thousands of individual tentacled zooids, all of which are intent of paralysing any hapless small creature which comes their way”, the marine biologist continues.

Have you ever spotted one?
