The box-jellyfish is special from all the other jelly-fish because, it doesn't drift but actually moves. All of the other jelly-fish just drift with the current, they are not moving. The box-jellyfish is actually not a jelly-fish. It is just called a jellyfish for its jellyfish appearance not for it truthfully being a jellyfish.
