The first ‘fried egg jellyfish’ of the season has apparently made an early appearance in Gozo’s waters.A video shared by Facebook group Dive Gozo shows the unmistakable yellow jellyfish, complete with its purple-tipped appendages, gently making its way through the sea.And while these colourful visitors are no strangers to Maltese waters, this one seems to have shown up a little ahead of schedule.“Seems a bit earlier this year! But it’s always nice to welcome the Fried Egg Jellies,” Dive Gozo wrote alongside the footage.
