No. I have been stung by jellyfish lots of times, specifically, the lion's mane jellyfish. All the stings just leave long red marks where the tentacles attached. I have never been in a situation where it has ever peeled skin.

Do blue bottle stings hurt more than jellyfish stings?
No, the Irukandji (Carukia barnesi, et al) box jellies are the most painful and have the longest lasting symptoms. While not usually considered life threatening, the systemic effects of Irukandji jellies include severe low back pain, progressive limb cramping, nausea, vomiting, headache, anxiety, hypertension, tachycardia, pulmonary edema, and feelings of impending doom so overwhelming that patients have been reported to beg their doctors to kill them and get it over with . While there have been only two reported deaths from Irukandji envenomation, dozens are hospitalized each year in Australia.
Blue bottles (Physalia utriculus) on the other hand, deliver a fierce sting, but the pain usually subsides within an hour, and without serious systemic complications. No known deaths from blue bottle jellies have been reported. Three recorded deaths have been attributed to a much larger sister species, the Atlantic Portuguese Man of War (Physalia physalis).
The deadliest jelly in the world by far is the Chironex fleckeri box jelly (marine stinger, sea wasp), with at least 80 recorded deaths in Australia alone during modern times. The sting, while excruciatingly painful (feels like a red-hot branding iron), is somewhat more amenable to pain medication and quicker to abate than Irukandji stings.
Sea anemones, coral and jelly fish belong to the group of Cnidarians.

There are many types of jelly fish in Florida, but here are a few names: the Moon jelly, Sea Nettle jelly, Cannon Ball jelly, and the Blue Button jelly. The Blue Button and the Cannon ball jellys are totally harmless, and the Moon jelly will only affect very sensitive skinned people. The Sea Nettle jelly, however, can give a very bad sting to anyone.
After death what happen to the jellyfish's body?
The cells that make up the body start to decompose, the carcass drifts towards the bottom of the ocean and is either eaten on the way down by a scavenger/predator or is eaten by something on the ocean floor.
What happens when a jellyfish stings you how do you get the pain away?
Avoid the jellyfish at all costs, even if it is dead. Put hot water or cold water on your sting, then wait for a day or two for it to heal.
How can someone set up a jellyfish aquarium?
Having a home aquarium for jelly fish is a commitment. They need to have special tanks to prevent them from getting stuck in corners as well as filters. They require special types of food (live brine shrimp larvae) and delicate care. Most retail fish stores do not carry jelly fish so stocking your tank will more than likely involve having them shipped to you.
