Yes.

The term "warm-blooded" is used for animals that keep their core body temperature at a steady, controlled level. The only animals to do this are mammals and birds.

Some animals have behavioral tricks for warming themselves (butterflies spreading their wings to the sun, people putting on warm clothes, and so on) but they lack physiological mechanisms for maintaining a constant body temperature.

Technically, mammals and birds are known as homoiotherms, and other animals, including coelenterates (the group to which jellyfish belong) as poikilotherms.

Is a box jellyfish endothermic or ectothermic?

Because box jellyfish, as with all other cnidarians, do not have blood, or a circulatory system, they can not be considered "cold-blooded." However, they are ectotherms whose body temperatures are equal to the temperature of the environment, which is usually very warm, as almost all box jellyfish are restricted to tropical waters.
