Why do you get stung by a jellyfish if you touch it?
Contact with a jellyfish tentacle can trigger millions of nematocysts to pierce the skin and inject venom.
How long are the box jellyfish tenticles?
their tentacle's can grow up to 6m long

How will a jellyfish respond to touch?
If a jellyfish is touched in or on its bell, a typical response would be to swim away from whatever touched it.

How do Box jellyfish eat?
Unlike true jellyfish, box jellyfish actively hunt for food. Each tentacle of the box jellyfish contains nematocysts, harpoon-shaped mechanisms that inject venom into prey.
What is a stinging cell on a tentacle of a jellyfish?
Jellyfish sting their prey using nematocysts, also called cnidocysts, stinging structures located in specialized cells called cnidocytes.
What happens when a octopuses tentacle is cut off?
It becomes separated from the body.
Can jellyfish lose their stinging cells?
Yes. After discharge, the stinging sac (nematocyst) is often pulled out of its cell (nematocyte). The cell (with or without the stinging sac) is then absorbed by the jellyfish. New stinging cells (nematoblasts) are continually being formed from stem cells, normally at a birthing site near the base of the tentacle. As these new cells form new stinging sacs, they travel down the tentacle and eventually take their place in the outer tissue of the tentacle in a precise pattern, which is often specific to their species.
What happens when an animal brushes against a tentacle of a stinging cell animal?
