The type of jellyfish in this area (Chesapeake: beach, swimming)

[SupermarketFantasy]

Does anyone know the exact types of jellyfish you can find in VA Beach? I saw quite a few out in Croatan yesterday.

I also saw a little stingray in some ankle deep water, which was kinda cool. Yeah, I don't get out too much.

I do not know exactly what kind of jellyfish inhabit the area but I remember a few summers ago swimming at the beach at night and coming across a jellyfish (I presume) glowing green in the water. It was pretty cool.

--EDIT--

I just found this by Googling "types of jellyfish in Virginia", this is for the Chesapeake Bay but I thought it may help answer your question in some fashion:

There are five common types of jellyfish found in the Bay and its tributaries. Of these, only three are considered true jellyfish. The other two, the mermaids purse and the sea walnut, have no or few tentacles and cannot sting. The second group, known as comb jellies, are generally transparent but often tinged green or pink and have bands of seemingly colored cilia striping their bodies. Flapping of the cilia allows the jellies to propel themselves casually through the water. The most distinctive characteristic of the sea walnut is its ability to luminesce, emitting a green glow, when disturbed.
The other three types of jellyfish do not have such innocuous traits as the comb jellies. These jellyfish, the lion's mane, moon jellyfish, and sea nettle, all have tentacles loaded with stinging cells. The lion's mane floats through Bay waters only during the winter and early spring and is not a hinderance to normal recreational activities. The moon jelly is the Bay's largest species but its sting is generally mild. It is characterized by fringe-like tentacles and clover-shaped red gonads.
