A mysterious brown blob has washed up on an Australian beach, baffling viewers as to what the creature could be.
A photo posted to the Australian Native Animals Facebook group on Monday shows a 'sunburnt' lump sitting amongst the low tide.
The sea creature was spotted at Kemp Beach in Yeppoon, on the southern section of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.
While users put their suggestions in identifying the creature, it's actually a tomato jellyfish.
Also known as the sea tomato, the tomato jellyfish is a non-deadly species of jellyfish.
Although it can delivery a nasty sting if touched, the species of jellyfish is not deadly to humans.
When washed up on beaches, the tomato jellyfish can give a horrible odour.
Their diet is unknown but close relatives hoover up plankton species for food.
The species was originally named in Malaysia. The Scientific name of it is Crambione Mastigophora.
