For inspiration for a giant jellyfish, I would look no further than the Portuguese man of war.
From http://www.amonline.net.au/factsheets/bluebottle.htm
" The Bluebottle or Portuguese Man-of-War is not a single animal but a colony of four kinds of highly modified individuals (polyps). The polyps are dependent on one another for survival.
The float (pneumatophore) is a single individual and supports the rest of the colony. The tentacles (dactylozooids) are polyps concerned with the detection and capture of food and convey their prey to the digestive polyps (gastrozooids). Reproduction is carried out by the gonozooids, another type of polyp."

A few random ideas...
Four Tentacles: Reach 100 ft.
Damage 2d8 plus 2d8 electricity
Maybe Improved Grab allows the creature to move the victim to smaller tentacles or into digestive polyps that deal acid damage.
Maybe it can summom flumphs.... or maybe it eats them.
Amorphous as per Krishnath's suggestion.

- but the info about it being a colony rather than a single creature is coolI like the idea of electric tentacles dragging prey to acidic gastropods (eew melting flesh!).
I like the idea that the float can be inflated to allow the creature to levitate
and I want to see it be able to exude small polyps that look like the Nematocysts but are a free swimming part of the hive mind....

I guess floating is in, then. 
Why don't you like the flumph-eating?
