Description
This is an image of a beached Man of War, taken near St. Augustine, FL. This poor colony of organisms seemed to be still alive, but hopelessly sand bound. So I put it back on the water in my image! If you ever come across one of these, keep your distance. They are venomous, even on land. In the water, their blue tentacles average 30 feet, hanging down to snatch prey from the gaseous bulb that floats like a sail on top of the water. They are lethal to fish, but are indeed beautiful to see.
