The stinging capsule of a jellyfish, or anything in Phylum Cnidaria, is called a Nematocyst. On the outside of the cell is a trigger hair, which, when brushed, will release a very sharp barb, which breaks of in the intruder's skin, adding greatly to the cause of the burning sensation of the relatively small amounts of poison. Phylum Cnidaria also includes Hydras, sea anenomes and Portugese Man-of-War.
