Flying Saucers -- Plenty of moon jellies were lining the tideline at Coquina Beach Sunday morning while anglers were looking for puppy drum or spotted seatrout to bite. According to the N. C. Coastal Federation, moon jellies are one of the more otherworldly jellyfish -- look like underwater flying saucers. Moon jellyfish are most common during the summer months from early June to September, when they appear in harbors and bays, looking like a wall-to-wall blanket so thick at times it appears you can walk across them. Moon jellies are a frequent snack for ocean sunfish and sea turtles. (Photos courtesy Jennette’s Pier)
