Meanwhile, marine biologist Dr Lisa Gershwin, director of Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services and co-creator of the jellyfish app, has revealed that the mysterious blob was "bunched up" but added that it was most likely a 'lion’s mane cyanea barkeri jellyfish', reported news.com.au. Furthermore, Dr Gershwin informed that she had discovered the species herself in 2010 in Mackay, as per the news.com.au report. She revealed that the top of the body is chocolate brown and it makes her believe that it is "cyanea".
