Yellow jellyfish?

Reader Deborah Mifsud encountered these when swimming at St.Thomas Bay, Marsascala yesterday afternoon.

"Fortunately I was not stung by any of them as a friend pointed them out to me and I immediatley fled to shore.

"I am very concerned about this incident since this is the first time that I have seen these huge jellyfish and I have no idea if they sting or/if/how dangerous their sting is," a worried Ms Mifsud said.

She said that there were about six of these jellyfish in the area , all with a diametre of 15 to 20 centimetres.
