This jellyfish is ALIVE for the time being. The Atlantic Ocean has been producing one storm after another and is beaching jellyfish the size of a frisbee like this one. Swimmers are being stung so often the lifeguards are running out of vinegar.
Think yourself lucky that it isn’t an “irukandji” Jellyfish almost invisible but it can require urgent expert medical assistance, and in so far as they are found in the Carribean and Florida waters, maybe you should read the wikipedia page HERE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irukandji_jellyfish
Yikes! That could cause a great deal of pain.
