A box Jellyfish
Cubozoa, commonly known as box jellyfish, primarily inhabit warm coastal waters, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. They are often found in shallow waters near beaches, estuaries, and coral reefs, where they can hunt for prey. Some species can also be found in deeper oceanic waters, but they are most commonly encountered in areas with abundant marine life.
Cubozoa
A Cubozoa looks like a jelly fish. The differences are that they are shaped like squares instead of round, they only have four tentacles and they swim much faster than jellyfish.
Chrysaora
Cubozoa Chirodropida Chirodropdae Chironex fleckeri. If you mean all box jellies, then Cubozoa is appropriate. The genus name of the most deadly is Chironex.
Cubozoa, commonly known as box jellyfish, are characterized by their cube-shaped medusa form and remarkable swimming ability. They possess complex eyes arranged in a unique pattern, allowing them to detect light and movement. Cubozoans are known for their potent venom, which can be lethal to humans, and their well-developed nervous system, making them one of the more advanced groups of cnidarians. Additionally, they exhibit a unique life cycle that includes both medusa and polyp stages.
