Walking jellyfish?

I don't know if this is the right forum for this kinda post, but mods feel free to move.
About a week ago my First Officer told me she and her kids had been on vacation in Koh Tao - Thailand.
One night just after sunset her kids were down at the beach snooping around, the only light source from the pier close by.
Then they saw something looking like a not so big jellyfish cube shaped with 4 long and thick tentacles climbing slowly out of the water.
They didn't get a good look at it because two cops, or maybe guards told them they shouldn't be there, and to get back to their hotel.
I've heard about squid and some small sharks moving around on dry land, but jellyfish?
I dunno, but to me it sounds creepy.
Maybe because jellyfish scares me and always have done.
Anybody on ATS who have heard of similar incidents?

Probably an octopus

My thought as well.

I have seen similar videos of them completely out of the water moving from tidepool to tidepool at low tide so it is probably not uncommon.

Well no, it was mostly transparent when it got out of the water, and those kids have seen many kinds of jellyfish before.
Including box jellyfish (this wasn't a box jelly) it was larger and had longer and thicker tentacles.

Indeed! The Octopus is an incredible creature and the way things are going some other lifebforms may be in line to inherit the earth. Cock roaches? Maybe, but after lots of evolving Dolphins or our eight legged friends could take over. As long as it's not squirrels . . .j/k

My cousin had a cute little guy in his saltwater aquarium. After eating all the fish (which was awesome to watch), he committed suicide one night. Sliding back the cover glass he made his escape.

The ocean was a lot further away than he reckoned. *sigh*

Oh no, not walking jellyfish, that's worse than fast zombies.

Perhaps one of those tubular creatures, I forget their name but they're related to jellyfish.

This shark video is intense as well.

Walking jellyfish would be pretty interesting on land or the seafloor

No it's not.
And it's not even close.
