The box jelly will move on natural ocean currents. But note that this species of jelly is, in general, a good swimmer as jellyfish go. They follow ocean currents, but use their natural swimming ability and their senses to direct them along or even across currents in search of food or mates.

As a result, box jellyfish can move more rapidly than other jellyfish, with speeds of up to six metres per minute having been recorded.The box jellyfish's nervous system is also more developed than that of many other jellyfish.
