dniss got it right: By-the-wind sailor, Velella velella, has "right" and "left" sailed individuals. It's related to the larger Portugese Man o'war (minus the severe sting!) but actually neither of these floating hydrozoan colonies are true jelly fish. A large blue mass or "flotilla" of these is really cool to see.
