Box jellyfish are known for the extremely potent venom produced by some species.

Box jellyfish most visibly differ from the "true" or Sycphozan jellyfish in that their umbrellas are cubic, rather than domed or crown-shaped. The underside of the umbrella includes a flap, or velarium, concentrating and increasing the flow of water expelled from the umbrella. As a result, box jellyfish can move more rapidly than other jellyfish, with speeds of up to six metres per minute having been recorded.

The box jellyfish's nervous system is also more developed than that of many other jellyfish.
