Box Jellyfish
Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are cnidaria Cnidaria () is a phylum under kingdom Animalia containing over 11,000 species of aquatic animals found both in Fresh water, freshwater and Marine habitats, marine environments, predominantly the latter. Their distinguishing feature is cnidocyt ...n invertebrates distinguished by their box-like (i.e. cube-shaped) body. Some species of box jellyfish produce potent venom (poison), venom delivered by contact with their tentacles. Stings from some species, including ''Chironex fleckeri'', ''Carukia barnesi'', ''Malo kingi'', and a few others, are extremely painful and often fatal to humans. Taxonomy and systematics At least 51 species of box jellyfish were known as of 2018. These are grouped into two Order (biology), orders and eight Family (biology), families. A few new species have since been described, and it is likely that additional undescribed species remain. Cubozoa represents the smallest Cnidaria, cnidarian class with approxi ...
