I work in timbalier bay out at east timbalier island and I have seen a few of these around and don't have a clue what they are. I'm guessing some type of jellyfish?

Growing up we would watch the tourists when they saw those on the beach. They thought it would be great fun to stomp on them to watch them pop. The fun was when they got stung all over their legs and started screaming.
