Best Answer

Sea Jellies do NOT release chemicals. They sting stupid people who only THINK they release chemicals, confusing them with Algal Blooms, which are massive population explosions of phytoplankton which release toxic chemicals into the water.

Normally, jellies sting either in defense or to catch prey.
