Posted on social media, the image was reportedly a purple jelly-like creature that made people feel as if it came from another planet. After the photo was uploaded, netizens commented that this "alien creature" was very beautiful, some people worried that it "may kill you", and some people joked that this "alien creature" may taste like "Port wine jelly".

One woman said, "Disgusting, alien," arguing that the jellyfish's impressive purple color was "caused by all the chemicals used [near Byron Bay] — don't touch it."

Another commented: "Someone may throw hidden drugs into the sea, and [the jellyfish turning purple] is the result." ”

Some netizens also marveled at the beauty of jellyfish while saying: "This is the beautiful result of marine diversity."

Uribe Palomino, a plankton researcher at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), said it could be a coronary jellyfish. Since this jellyfish lives in open oceans, the probability of being washed ashore is minimal.
