How would a cnidarian eat a human?

No cnidarian has ever been reported to have eaten a human, as the vast majority of cnidarians are too small to eat a human being. Cnidarians feed by forcing subdued prey into the stomach chamber of the polyp or medusa. Hypothetically, the only cnidarian large enough to accomplish this deed would be the Nomura's Jellyfish, Nemopilema nomurai, which is over 2 meters in diameter. However, the Nomura's jellyfish lacks stinging cells potent enough to kill or even stun humans, and the danger presented by these creatures is swamping ships with their large bodies.
